Thanks




Thanks, Kim -

I know I have a long way to go, and I do get impatient. It's a real act of courage for me to share anything and put it up for critique.

Thanks for the tip about the eyes - one parent thinks her cheeks were too fat. But since I "cheated" and projected her image on the paper to start, I know the eyes are approximately the right size. I know I got the angle of them wrong - they should have been tilted more, like the head itself. I think, as far as the right cheek goes, it goes out too much, whereas in the photo, from the eye down to about the area of the nose's highlight, it's fairly straight.

Someone else mentioned that they could really see the things wrong with their work when they put it side by side with their photo on the computer, and they're right!

Julie
