BANNER PROGRESS

I have more of the under painting and choices made regarding this year's Sunflower Festival banner.  The deadline for turning it in is this weekend.

I can't believe how orange I've gone in this piece.  I rarely use that color except for highlights and when it's required as a local color.  I plan to tone it done quite a bit.  I also plan to change the right hand to soften the pose and expose more of the fingers. I don't care for how the thumb is sticking out even though I like it on the left hand.  I am going to "paint out" the large, green leaf so the fingers are prominent.

At this stage nothing is really finished but I have finished blocking everything in excluding the right hand changes

  It's time to start details and pump up the values.
