In this case I ultimately went with a tighter focus closer to the original sketch, but it was helpful to explore a slightly larger piece before committing to cleanup.
I also flip my canvases A LOT throughout the painting process - not just to catch mistakes, but to see if the mirrored version reads better than the original idea.
