Found shorts of her on the internet where she does JoJo poses and they’re FANTASTIC! I immediately needed to paint them. The first pose is very much her, we’ll see what I do with the dozen or more other poses I saved.

I love a well drawn and well rendered shoe. I find it so sexy in part because it’s hard to get right. Great piece over all just a little off hand comment on shoes XD
Wow, thank you!
I considered changing her from reference and making her barefoot, glad I didn’t for two reasons! The balance of the image and at least one shoe appreciater!
Of course, the whole pose would change without the heel support, (not that attempting an imaginative anatomy study is wrong, on the contrary) for this kinda pose i’d look at ballet dancers for reference. Also foot anatomy is probably the hardest to get, but you know… There’s money on that, it pays to git gud. XD
Yes it does! And I very much decided to paint the shoes because it was easier to follow the reference than stray that much.
