This is probably a good time to start documenting things I'm learning while I'm doing this:
1) Don't use walnut ink too early in the process. It darkens the background too much.
2) Don't let the background boss you around. In this case, I got all tripped up in my choice of color palette because I was preoccupied with how damn dark the background was. I should have just painted over the background. I would have enjoyed the process much more.
3) At this moment, I am obsessed with temples. And dorky mouths. That's not a lesson. I don't care.
