Okay, so the “might even finish it in one day” claim was a tad inaccurate. Here’s where I left off with it before getting distracted:

Something I’ve been playing around with this afternoon – Clara’s shoes. It’s moving along pretty quickly; I might even finish it in one day.

Only had about a half hour to work on it this morning…

I picked up a Daylight Easel Lamp to make photographing my work easier after the sun’s gone down. However, its less akin to daylight than it is a fluorescent fish tank lamp. It produces a cold, blue light that has a drastic effect on the colors in my work. I wouldn’t use it for a final photo of a finished piece, but for in-progress shots that can be warmed up a bit in photoshop, it does the job.

That said, here’s moderate progress on Rachel under the harsh blue light.
