easel pose photo references
Can you give more space between the easel and Lilia and pull her arms out little more from her body? You can use " post it" to fix ( or piece of paper and tape).
Or we can fix it in photoshop. ( Hold until Sunday)
Thumbnail Sketch
The art style changed a lot when I was doing this... I have a bad habit of changing art styles a lot and this looks nothing like the draft. Also should I add another page with the whole studio?

Basic PhotoShop Tool
If you have photoshop ready, you may want to take a look at basics of Tool Tutorial. Ask me questions if anything is not clear.
You don't have to learn every tool for now ( it is overwhelming). Get familar with Brush and Eraser and Text in Tool Window.
This is not mandatory, please focus on your rough tumbnail first. Once your rough tumbnail is done, please post it. I will give you feed back and take whatever you like from my critic. Then, you are going to make clean sketches. thanks.

Thumbnail
There was one problem: I kind of wanted to include a background (setting) with her full body to the left but I don't know how to include the easel that way because it would hen cover the entire panels beneath.

Rough Tumb Nails
1. Writing/thumbnailing
I start with a story goal in mind, a short
written outline, and a loose series of plot points that I write out on a
plot diagram. Since I’m very much a visual thinker, the meat of my
writing process involves thumbnailing out small sequences of images. I
create scenes organically as I let the pictures lead my thought process
on where a scene is going. I fill many pages with scenes and snippets of
scenes. Then I go through them all and refine and combine these small
scenes into thumbnailed pages as the story fits together in sections.
This is a lengthy push and pull process, and I find this method helps me
stumble upon a lot of interesting scenes and sequences I may not have
thought of if I was writing words with the more logical side of my
brain. As I thumbnail I also jot down little bits of dialogue in the
margins, but sometimes the visuals will give me a good indication of the
story at this point without getting overly detailed about dialogue. In
the end, I eventually end up with a rough story pieced together from
these small thumbnailed pages. At this stage I do a lot of moving of
pages/scenes around, adding dialogue, and adjusting things until I’m
happy with the story.
