I'm a bit in a Beauty&Beast flow as I'm still working on the book. Sorry about that. Other subjects will be posted soon
Somehow it gets more difficult to get proportions right if only part of the subjects are showing. Probably because I use the complete figure as a reference to see if everything's anatomically correct. Of course I could paint a complete picture and crop it when it's done but that does not seem very efficient. However, as this took ages to get right, and it has been changed considerably many times, it might have been quicker if I would have chosen that approach. Water under the bridge. Maybe next time. I'm happy with it now.
