Progress Checkkk!

So far I have worked on the first and second panels of my design. I have really been focusing on the linework in the hair of the centerpiece and I am planning on completing the right side panel and starting the second by the next checkpoint. I just got some feedback on my pieces so far and they suggested adding white to the side pieces and also adding more wispy elements to unify my pieces more, which I am planning on doing. As for how it is going, I feel like I am pacing myself pretty well considering this is my first time working on such a large scale and with fairly unfamiliar media.

I am also planning on adding the national flowers from each side of my lineage (Guyanese and Mexican) to fill up some negative space and help unify each individual piece. (Here is my full sketch below)
