A reference sheet for the character in the previous painting, Shelby. There's a front and back view of them, stood somewhere between a T pose and an A pose. Their hair is tied back with a scrunchie, and they wear a cute summer outfit. The outfit consists of a denim jacket with lots of patches on it and a landscape painting on the back, a plain indigo binder/tank top, light shorts, slouchy socks, and indigo trainers with rainbow soles.

There are also some sketched expressions in one corner, and a pallete + detail callouts/reference photots in another.
