7/2/15 - Yikes!

I'm missing quite a few now! That's not good. Progress has been slow due to family obligations taking up a lot more time this week, with my faraway family visiting.

That said, I've got the first batch of color down pat:

And yes, it is very, very dark, because I haven't added back in the direct or reflected light yet, nor has it been refined. I think this step will make for a cool comparison to (hopefully tomorrow's) next update on this where I do add that light back in and it "pops".

I'm trying something a bit different this time so I'll see how it plays out!

Till tomorrow!
