For the first time since working on this series, I’ve enjoyed the daily progression of this canvas. The underlying beauty of it lie in the precise measurements I made when sketching the angles of the room. I put the protractor directly onto the picture so I’d leave very little to chance or “artistic ability” when creating the inner space.
The outside of the building was intentionally simple: blue sky, tan sand. As a matter of fact, the only purpose of the outside was to define the inside. This was also accomplished by taping off the section that represented the dive shop building.
I painted just enough things in the shop to suggest where the twins were without getting too bogged down with trying to depict everything that is mentioned in that excerpt from The Adventures of Infinity and Negativa.
When I chose the pictures to represent the twins, I especially looked for body movement. More challenging, but definitely the right call. Actually, I’ve attempted to do that in every painting. The body parts are in better proportion this time.
Now I can paint every day, weather permitting. I expect to have this wall filled with all the chapter storyboards by the end of the year. Hopefully, I will have the WIP completed by then. I’ve been slashing all the fluff lately without adding much. Once I have it streamlined to the essential parts, I’m banking on the fact that the story will be easier to complete. In the meantime, the adventure of bringing the twins to life continues!
