Now with all the characters in the painting, I started worrying more about the shading and lighting part of things,

After having picked the colors, and adding the extra characters, I tried to fit them better in the compostion in terms of color and tone. So I went over the character with a soft brush with sligthly purple tint and making it a multiply layer, so it harmonizes better with the pallette set by the background and local colors.

I noticed the smartphone that the girl is holding was a bit too hiden in the darkness, so it wasn't clear what they were looking at. This was mostly fixed by adding a lightsource to it's screen, also added a purple tint to it so it differs more from the light's coming from the umbrella. Also helps adding more to the focus point of the composition.

This time I'm coloring on top of the gray-ish tones from before, I'm still having hardships with picking colors, but it's going a lot smoother than before. I think the red on the clothing of the girl is looking good, but I'm having doubts about how her skin looks, but I'll leave that for later.

On a more positive note I did like how the chimpanzee's face turned out, it happens that rugged faces are much easier to paint.

The human girl and the monkey seems rather lonely for something being inclusive.

Now in Photoshop, still with these two character in focus, I added more people on the background, all of them with the same or similar umbrella. I placed them in the image to make it seem like these umbrelas were also connected, following a line out of the canvas, and made it similar to a dotted line.

Instead of focusing on futuristic scenery, I tried to not make it focus so much on the technology, but instead the result of the changes that comes with 5G. This of course in a metaphorical way, I don't want the image to tell the viewer "this is what the world will look like", I prefer to make the impact more emotional, trying to capture in more symbolic imagery what it would feel like to be connected.

So from now on I'll be focusing on the "How it would feel to be connected".

The composition might still change, but the overall idea for it is more or less defined now.

The three previously mentioned elements didn't feel like enough to make a full composition, so I decided to add an umbrella to it.

This element would make the composition in mind more full, and give meaning to the image, the meaning being that of inclusivity: "being under the same umbrella"; and how the human, the animal, and the technology complete each other in a positive way.

On the center of the page I drew three ink strokes for an idea of how the human, the animal and the umbrella would relate to each other in the composition. The animal being more low down; the human a bit over it, watching over the animal; and the umbrella on top of both. I felt like this relationship would give a feeling of protection over each other.

It was then drawn some thumbnails and different perspectives on this same composition, trying to find out how it would look better.

The first things that came to mind with 5G were the connection between human and nature, and interaction between them.

At first I had 3 elements in mind:

- The Human

- The Animal

- The Technology

I drew some images of how these could be interacting with each other, through small thumbnails, I wanted to make clear the facial expressions of both characters and what they were interacting with.
