Head and neck now off-centered in shirt front/shoulders, but otherwise looking great!
KC – I spotted that too, but by then I had made 17 revisions so I stopped.
KC – If you go back a week in the original he’s a little off-center. Not as much as I have here though.
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)
(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…)
… 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.
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.
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…
