Praline is precious and I would die for her. Do you have any where her body is oriented toward the viewer more, and less directly to the side?Honestly can totally relate. They can be hard to photograph.
For chicken art I can sometimes cheese it without an exact pose reference (because I have just drawn so so many and have them engraved in my brain) but with humans if I don’t want it to be trashy I need a reference that has the exact perfect same pose.
I love how you got the quail pattern. The feathers have a volume and sheen I have never been able to achieve. Here are two pictures of my Praline, tbh none of the pics show an ideal 65° angle but I think it will help you get an idea of the tail spread.View attachment 3045797View attachment 3045798View attachment 3045807
Actually I think I might use one to make a portrait of her.
