ntopaz-image-0 I've added more to my current Singularity piece, sketching in more animals and details:

Here is the sketch without any colour with the bits I've added to my previous sketch.

Same may remember this initial of the sketch

And then I added in the second dog (at that point I was playing with purple for the ladies dress)

Adding these new details also involved playing with colour.

And the Green of her dress, here just added with watercolour, has been decided.

As you will recall, the oil paint layers I've shared previously had me deciding to use Green on her dress to make the purple of the robotic hand pop, as seen here in the section of final oil on this piece.

As can be seen too, I added an apple to the piece and also more wires. I even changed her face and expression before going to final oil.

as I go along. It is part of the fun of the narrative for me. And the joy of painting digitally is having all layers preserved. So, even though I have my current canvas in paint and underpainting going on, I can close down layers and open up original sketching, as I did here, to add more to it.

The story continues with the Owl, the Chalice and the Pendant.

I like the richness of layers and more. I am surely NOT a minimalist when it comes to my Singularity series.

And having the luxury of hidden layers to call upon to improve or add to the initial sketch makes all the difference. In the old days, I would need to tape tissue paper over the painting (waiting for it to be dry) and try out new sketched bits before committing them to the canvas to build up layers.

Now I can use my initial sketch and add another layer of sketch over it. It's fun to make these little changes into gifs as well:

I have been struggling to get onto social media more of late.

I contribute it to the change in the weather and the feel of Spring. After my morning art time and my other duties to family, I cannot wait to get out and feel the sun on my face.

And on that note, I've a big list of to-doing today, so I shall close here and hope all have a lovely Saturday.

Feel free to upvote, resteem, and by all means comment.
