All we need is a title, the last detail

 PROGRESSION NOTES

I like where this one is headed. Unlike the  last one it won't get a "Free-range Pass", because this one will be under strict  supervised play time.  If it cooperates, a nice wall will be waiting with open arms!

Canvas 1255 (1,440 sq. in.)

The most important detail of this 1,440 sq. inch work will revolve around the hands......not many square inches compared to the whole. But, if it fails, my canvas will fail too. Capturing the essence of this moment is completely dependent on it. 

The hair expansion and dorsal connection is another tricky detail. Part of her back light could be sacrificed. Not if I can help it!

Painting  a small detail loosely, closeup, is challenge enough.... getting it to read at 30 feet is almost beyond my ability. The male's arm is not working for me.  Looks like a full day of problem solving ahead!

Yesterday was a good day, all red lines were resolved! Some favorite details and new red lines below

One final red-line to project this offshoot forward..... the background needs further darkening..... more noticeable at a distance. Since this is a new day with fresh eyes, more things could find improvement!

Well... fresh eyes do cause  heartaches if you let them, another red-line!! On the surface not a big deal, passable perhaps. I know the camera is doing some of this but the area needs to be darker.... could be a few connection marks or a repaint..... we'll see!
