      @Lee-White Thanks Lee (and everyone). It's so helpful to have fresh eyes on my work.

      Off to study giraffes...

        Here it is with a giraffe-ier head. I'm wondering if I might have gone too far toward realism, so that the head doesn't seem to fit the body or the boy's face. What do you think?

          I think the new head is good! just darken the outlines on the spots to be consistent with the rest of him 🙂

            It's looking good. I would just push the curve the people are on right now. Maybe make it a bit more twisty.
            Just a quick paintover.

                @Javier-Diaz Ooh thank you! I love the feel of your curve. I'm going to go work on this now and see how it goes.

                  @Javier-Diaz Whew! Okay, here's the update. It was not easy for me to push things this much (and even looking at it now, I can see places where I could have pushed more, especially at the girl/cat section). But I think the result is quite an improvement over the original.

                          Such a big difference from where you started. I know you have to feel good about where it is now and all the great advice along the way!
