This is how I'm thinking the first couple will fit in the scene. Its on top of a light box so the quality ain't great. Made some minor alterations to the design as well I like the shape and positioning. Not wholly sure about her face and flowers + he should maybe have a ring and her some bracelets, maybe a pearl necklace on her too to help Nuevo it up. Secondly I think him and her body works with the perspective but not convinced with the angel of her head, think you should be looking more down slightly from behind but then I'll struggle to incorporate her expression. The angel of the pillow also needs addressed to fit the perspective. To be honest on reflection I've been working slow with this. I've never took so long doing a piece.. Not sure if its just cause I'm used to diving straight in but more I'm putting off doing it, the more of a big deal I feel its becoming. Just wanna get stuck in really. So next thing to do today is to draw another couple/couples and draw the one playing guitar. I can see him in my head.

Finally addressed the centre picture. A portrait of the Queen. Got this from google and thought it would fit the Nuevo theme. Drew her in pencil, then pen then put her on a light box and traced her into the picture. I don't think this has been the best decision I've made for the picture as a whole. While I think it's a nice picture in itself, I think (especially with it being central) it detracts from the mysterious, eerie feel of the room. This is why I done the black in pointillism, to soften it a bit and make her stand out less. I wanted this pic to be her portrait to better translate the narrative but I shoulda went for something more intriguing. + her knee is too high up and she's looks a bit too She-Ra I've decided not to do the silhouette of the cat as it's getting to the stage where there is nearly too much going on. Same with the pattern in his robes, I'm gonna do it moons and suns but fairly minimal. So it's pretty close to being wrapped ...

To get a marble effect on the fire place I first traced over it, cut it out then used it and used this as a stencil. I mixed two tones of diluted ink, dipped in a brush, flicked off the excess and stroked the bristles to spray it over the stencil. On tests (in sketchbook) some ink managed to seep under the acetate so when applying this text I used paper weight/ anything that was lying around to keep it pressed firmly down. I dived in with the vase thinking that it should be bold to keep the balance in check with the boldness of the window section and the table cloth. Though reflecting I think for the composition the vase would've worked better being white with black spots. For the cushion, after finding reference imagery and doing a test I dived in again without pre-drawing hence this could've worked out better. Afterwards I used acetate to work out how best to include more flow then continued to work into it. It could probably do with a bit more contrast but I feel it...
