I then took the illustration to my compadre, Sterling Hundley, and told him that something was really bothering me about the illustration -- that the head seemed out of place. He looked at the printout and drew a little sketch below and suggested that I tilt the head back more.

This is great. Tilting the head back really gave the piece more movement and added perspective. Excellent! :D
