Process Post - "almost there? never" - 2/13/25

For this project, I have finished most of the shading on my body (except the face) and have begun on the pattern in the back. I have done away with my usual border and am using more than one color for the first time. So far, I like how the pattern is looking. I just hope it doesn't turn into a rainbow vomit mess. I'll come back to the face. This piece is huge, so the pattern may take all of my remaining class days; thus I will be working on it over the weekend. I think this piece will be the last of its kind because I've become bored of this style. I want to maintain the pattern and myself as a theme, but I may move back to clothing/fashion/jewelry to tie my new work to my old work. I'll have to see. That's it for now!

"almost there? never," as of 2/13/25 -- most of the shading done (may need more contrast; beginning pattern)
