Info needed on "sketches" (or, what did I just buy?) (Tue Jun 3 05:52:41 2003 )

Recently on YJ I bought a lot of what I thought 
would be four CCS sketches of Syaoran during the 
last scene of Episode 69, just before he makes 
his big admission to Sakura.  They weren't 
expensive, but when I got the lot I was surprised 
to find eight sketches, two each of four poses, 
none of them dougas.  Gengas?  But then why two 
of each (not identical either).

I consulted Yann's faq, which says:

A genga is never used directly to make a cel 
and is usually not available for sale. It's also 
possible to find drafts of genga (rough sketch) 
but usually they are not available on the market. 


The problem is that neither one of the sketches 
looks like the example Yann gives of a rough 
sketch.  Both are carefully done finished 
images.  One is on lightweight greenish paper, 
while the other is heavier white paper.  
The "green" sketches contain penciled 
annotations, while the "white" sketches often 
contain careful notes in red ink made with a fine-
tipped pen.

That suggests that the "green" is a rough sketch 
while the "white" is the finished genga.  But 
the "green" paper is thin enough to be tracing 
paper and often shows additions and elaborations 
to the "white," so I think that the "greens" must 
be the later sketches.  But the "whites" are 
hardly "rough" sketches.  

Does anyone know just what my "green" and "white" 
sketches are and what their relationships are to 
gengas and dougas?

As responses to this message I will post an 
example each of my "green" and "white" sketches.
