<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4>The attraction was the 'lineup' of children at a
concession stand in Belize. I have never attempted such a scene before,
and of course, was short on doing children of different ages. Not paying
much attention to proportions, I merely attacked the subject matter. Hope
that tells you what the attraction for this subject was?...thanks for your
interest and good points to boot. I knew something was not
right.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi, Virginia... and all.<BR><BR>The first question I'd ask,
Virginia, is what attracted you to the <BR>scene? If we know that, then we can
give a better critique.<BR><BR>I admire your gumption at tackling people as this
is one area I <BR>generally have a lot of trouble. Strangely enough, I do well
in my life <BR>drawing class, but when I attempt to insert people (with
clothing) into <BR>a landscape, things get ugly. As I said, I admire your
courage.<BR><BR>I would suggest you take another look at proportions. Children
may be <BR>different, but in adults the legs are about the same length as the
torso <BR>and head. With two of your figures, this holds; with the others, to my
<BR>mid they are "leg-challenged."<BR><BR>I'll go back to my first point here:
What attracts you to this scene? I <BR>think that's important to
know.<BR><BR>cheers<BR>pat<BR> <BR><BR>Aquanet mailing list<BR><A
