Kalli Emerson Portrait WIP#2 (Patreon)

I revisited Kalli's full-body portrait, which hasn't been touched in a long time.  I always felt there was something off about the balance of her original pose - particularly with the placement of her hips & feet, so I went in and made some more drastic changes - at one point masking her out so I could only see her silhouette as I used an eraser to reshape her legs & arm.  Afterwards I went in and did some repair work stitching everything back together and redrawing parts of her jeans & boots.  Looking at them side-by-side, the changes do not seem that significant on their own, but I think they add up to a much more natural-looking stance that reads better and has a lot more appeal.

Now it is truly just a matter of polishing everything up.  Once finished, I'll have a timelapse video that I plan on uploading to YouTube.
