Sooo..... sometimes I think I have a great idea, then I realize it wasn't...
I thought I would create outlines like I did for Magnus' panel, but that didn't come out well at all! Yikes! And, I absolutely hated the leaf over her head.
I waited again for all of it to dry and then attempted to get rid of all the outlines I just put in... or at least reduce them.
The picture to the right is a sketch that I made on top of the photograph on the left... here's how I plan to update it tomorrow. I'll add a golden boarder with the pens, some patterns within the blue section behind Lilibet's head, and use some blue outlines around and on top of the fish. I ordered some metallic pens in other colors to play around with on this one... we'll see how it goes.
It's a fluid process really, since creating doesn't always transfer from the brain the way you think it will.
