Loving N'gingangi

Sketch the basic shapes and proportions of the mother and child figures, focusing on their relative sizes and positions.

Establish the background colors, blending the teal, green, and yellow sections.

Block in the base color for the figures' skin, a pale blue-green.

Add shadows and highlights to the figures to create form and depth.

Carefully paint the intricate tattoo-like designs on the figures' bodies using a fine brush.

Paint the dark brown rope-like forms at the bottom of the painting, adding highlights to suggest form.

Add the small white dots in the background to create a sense of atmosphere.

Refine details and adjust colors as needed to achieve the desired effect.
