Time Clock Of The Heart WIP5

The last and final step I'd like to describe as a Bacharach song after you’ve added those sweet violins! In other words, adding the really dark colors or dark contrast where needed by focusing on and pressing down really hard on the pencil where you need solid distinction or to make it POP out. For example, where her hands and the clock meet there should be a distinct difference in textile. I used really hard edges to make the viewer feel the differences in the two textures. One should feel the heaviness and hard gold of the clock against the soft and gentleness of her hands. The overall finishing time was 1 hour.
