Image #18 Redux

This picture, which I call #18, needed fixing. Buddy’s wing was blocking his gleeful smile. Every time I looked at the picture I knew it needed more work, but I also felt that I couldn’t go back to it without falling behind schedule. Then I got to thinking that this picture would just keep bugging me until I fixed it. So, instead of moving on to image #20, I re-opened #18 in Procreate. I moved Buddy’s head, made him a little smaller, shifted him to the left to improve the composition, and in doing all of these things, overcame my frustration. By going back a couple of steps, I moved forward an inch.
