KC

Head and neck now off-centered in shirt front/shoulders, but otherwise looking great!

theQueen

KC - I spotted that too, but by then I had made 17 revisions so I stopped.

theQueen

KC - If you go back a week in the original he's a little off-center. Not as much as I have here though.

KC

Yep, definitely a little off-center in the original, just not quite this off-center, but also yes, at some point you say ENOUGH and call it a day. (especially when the *rest* of it works)

KC

(this is one of the advantages of digital art, though. You could just move his head and neck to one side a smidge, no worries. Canvas is presumably not that forgiving with cut-and-paste...)

KC

... now wondering if you could move just the top parts of the shoulders/arms on both sides by a teeny bit when painting... or whether that'd mess up the beautifully-foreshortened forearms. Sigh.

TheQueen

KC - it was hard enough to get that smile, so his shoulders are scooting. He might look like the famous photo of Lee Harvey Oswald holding the rifle.

KC

I bet the shoulders will agree to shift a bit. And also YES save the face.

I'll have to look up that photo... that's quite something.

I think he will end up significantly less off-center than that, if you just nudge both shoulders a bit (it really should be only a tiny bit).

But yes. Apparently defying gravity is not ideal...
