Great job OB! I like the light pink and dark pink background the best. Love the timelapse video!
... something else
This is the final image. Or is it? Likely, it is not. I have already started on a *perfect* version of my ***Mother Earth ***painting.
Of course, there is no such thing as a **perfect** painting. What I mean is that I already started on a vector version of Mother Earth. You're familiar with vector vs. pixel, right?
But let's start at the beginning, not the end.
This here is a pic from the sketching phase. I am not one who can just magically and with a few strokes produce an amazing sketch of something that resembles a human. There are artists out there that do this wonderfully. It's amazing but it is not me (unfortunately).

Here I am starting to color in the sketch with a watercolor brush. This is all done in Procreate App on an iPad Pro. The coloring is on a separate layer with the pencil sketch set to multiply to shine through the colors. That's why the pencil strokes now are black. I like that look.

And here, I am almost done. Just need to decide on the background color. And as you can see from the gif and video I didn't really decide. Though at the moment I am favoring that muted pinkish red - LOL

Which color is your favorite?

Here you can see the whole process in a timelapse. Above pictures were grabbed from it to detail the process a little.

Thank you, Steve, my favs as well. Timelapse videos are sort of, hmm, mesmerizing, aren't they?
I forgot, did you ever get an ipadPro or other tablet?
They are great. I got the iPad Pro in the end and love it for sketching. Mostly Ive not done much digital sketching lately though.
