Got it up 15% to about 10.5x13.5, but it seems too big, so I'll do the smaller.<BR/><BR/>The next trick is transferring. You poke litle holes in the paper around the pencil lines, then work some pastel in the holes and then paint dot-to-dot. Or you make some carbon paper (apply pencil in side strokes to rub off lead - takes a long time) then trace the top through the carbon to the bottom.<BR/><BR/>Not sure which I'll do.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622985406269216862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703107.post-91879736794031652612007-06-21T08:36:00.000-05:002007-06-21T08:36:00.000-05:00Oh, wow.

Still waiting impaitently to see the finished product. Man I wish I had that much talent.Klynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00660732347810470100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703107.post-53738068678439076522007-06-20T19:44:00.000-05:002007-06-20T19:44:00.000-05:00I love condensing pictures and I didn't look at th...I love condensing pictures and I didn't look at the picture well enough when I uploaded it. Looking at an 8.5x11 version, it's harder to see the back one is too small. Looking at the condensed composite, it is so obvious. Thanks for pointing it out. I actually have a larger one I rejected and will upload that scan and others.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622985406269216862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703107.post-8734714258270194302007-06-20T18:52:00.000-05:002007-06-20T18:52:00.000-05:00Ok, so I'm no artist, but I do have an eye for siz...Ok, so I'm no artist, but I do have an eye for size and proportion. I do draw (mostly straight, engineering-type lines) for a living, though. Heh, I'm not an artist, but I play one at work.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, here are my observations:<BR/><BR/>First (older) kitty looks a tiny bit big in relation to the second (young) kitty behind him in the composite photo. Also, after seeing the first two photos of the older kitty, the image of him in the composite photo doesn't show the extent that his eyes are crossed. That may be intentional, though. I wish you could have gotten a better shot of the second kitty, even though he's shy. The pose he's striking in the photo makes his snout look kinda smooshed. I have a feeling he's a beautiful kitty, and that might not have optimally captured his features.<BR/><BR/>All that said, it's just a photo guide for your artwork. You've seen the kitties in person, and may be able to adjust the proportions, and the expressions of the kitties to make a wonderful portrait. I'd love to see the finished piece. I'm sure it will be beautiful.Klynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00660732347810470100noreply@blogger.com
