I wanted to get more specific about Shan's eyes. I also more clearly made the jaw and cranium two separate forms:


Again, trying to make Shaniqua's eyes less rounded-out, and trying to adjust her mouth/cheek area to be more loyal to the original.



I think I could have made the hands more solid, and I think there was some loss incurred in Shaniqua's facial region. It looks to me like her cranium got a little mushy. I think I should have placed Shaniqua just a bit more to the left so that Roxie's hair didn't come quite so close to her sleeve.

Also, helloooo allergy season in Northwest Ohio! It has been hard to look at my computer screen as a result.

I tried to think about that Shan needs to be behind Roxie. I wanted a little bit of perspective. I wanted to make sure it was clear that Shan was looking at Roxie (though I think Roxie, in my drawing, is not convincingly enough looking straight, right past poor Shan). I wanted to put a bit more space between the hair and the cheek. I feel like I watered down the lines of action.

Why didn't I have this posted forever ago? Ugh... Anyway, I don't like the closest foot too much. I didn't get the right shape on the rim of the moccasin. I also think that in general it could be more contrasty.

Oh, I'm doing some paid work right now, by the way. Hooray!
