841 - Return To The Lounge


 
I took a break from working on this piece.  I was worried that I would not be able to balance the skin tone of the girl to the rest of the picture after I discovered a technical error.  It turns out to have been an asy fix after all, but I had  to sleep on it.  I am a big believer in using the first moments of wakefulness after restful sleep to solve problems.  Apparently, our brains issue the most alpha waves upon waking, and the rapid flow of alpha waves is crucial to creative problem solving.
 
I also started blocking in the highlights of the scene.  They might be a bit too vibrant, but I can rebalance them later.  The flat colours look drab in comparison, so it's not good to make the fixes until all of the lights are built.
