"Teach A Martian to Tie A Shoe"

I had a friend who looked at my "How To" and found some inconsistencies. There were a couple scenes that were difficult to understand. For instance, in the distillation process water and oil separate in the right tube, you have to drain the water to collect the oil. Some water is kept to dilute the potency of the oil. I illustrated this but it was more confusing than necessary. so I omitted it in the bottom left scene. Also, I thought it necessary to add an extra scene because 7 scenes were too unbalanced.
I tried to incorporate gold through out the composition. I was hesitant about including gold and am still a bit unsure. I wanted gold to hold a symbolic power in the color scheme. Its supposed to represent the essential oil that you're going through the distillation process for.
