This is a complete sidebar: In India, people say that foreigners get scammed into paying high prices. The bottom line is that you need to know the standard price to haggle properly, and it's actually quite easy to figure out. Let's say you want to buy a single clementine. Just take 1/7th of the US price as the approximate benchmark for what you should pay. (Per my experience in specific cities.) Clementines are around 50 cents in the US, so haggle towards 5-10 cents in the rupee equivalent. This rule of thumb works for every day goods. For products that only foreigners or rich people buy, like perhaps a Snickers bar, market price seems closer to 1/3 of US price. This is a ballpark guideline that worked for me. Most importantly when haggling, you must be willing to walk away, and if they call you back, you know that you haven't gone too low.
Back to the main point on needing variation, I always feel like I'm missing something if I'm not mixing it up. I made a quick piece to experiment with different art styles, on the subject of planets.
Order of planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
