I think a solution would be to paint the outline of the object first so you don't loose the shape.;)<br /><br />That's so nice of you to paint you wife into the picture too, Bruce. ;)<br />There are a few of things that are bothering me...one being your hat is too small, it could be widen on the crown so that it's level with the side of the head. Also, your shoulders could be more squarer and broader...they are sloping from the neck area. And finally, your left leg looks wooden because it has no form i.e. straight up and down.<br /><br />There are a few links that may help you, Bruce<br /><br />http://drawinglab.evansville.edu/body.html <br /><br />http://drawsketch.about.com/od/learntodraw/u/learn-to-draw.htm <br /><br />http://drawsketch.about.com/od/figuredrawing/Figure_Drawing_Life_Drawing_Tips_and_Lessons.htm <br /><br />http://figure-drawings.com/Reehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07304330794822181767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-58434018066674550302009-05-20T09:50:29.065+10:002009-05-20T09:50:29.065+10:00You got room under your bed?

You can't help bu get better is you keep painting, and you could always open an ebay store and sell them.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16887267456749263715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-77286728385025411812009-05-20T09:36:55.926+10:002009-05-20T09:36:55.926+10:00Sweet, I guess.

What do I do now? <br /><br />I'm afraid to paint bigger pics since I have no home for them and the market up in Timmins is nearly nonexistant. I do hope to put together a body of work I can then take to another city for show and or sale.mackbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622082396757299739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-40536732834199743262009-05-20T00:24:00.000+10:002009-05-20T00:24:00.000+10:00I love the heron ....very different but lovely Mac...I love the heron ....very different but lovely Mackb!! ...and your portrait is beautiful ....what a sweet thing to do for a gift to your lovely wife!!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493518674133085652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226875186908097599.post-46318776123710931772009-05-18T11:02:00.000+10:002009-05-18T11:02:00.000+10:00Your Heron!

You have told me you are looking for realsism in your portraits, so here goes..<br /><br />Why do you look crankly, you are frowening. Turn your eyebrows up and give yourself a smile to go with your wifes.<br /><br />Your foot is too small.<br /><br />I would show more of your left arm, as you look extremely uncomfortable sitting there.<br /><br />Please lighten the roots of your wifes hair, she looks like she is ready for a new dye job. :D<br /><br />Her right forearm is too short, and her hand is too small. Looks deformed. <br /><br />She has a beautiful smile. <br /><br />Put a tiny greyed down white highlight in each eye.<br /><br />Lengthen her fingers on her left hand.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16887267456749263715noreply@blogger.com
