Doggone it!
I thought I had that neck placed exactly right in the block-in. I didn't realize it had shifted until you mentioned it. I guess head size isn't the only thing that gets out of hand. You can't just check it once and forget about it.
Actually, I think it may have stayed put, but I had placed it too early, before the width of the eyes and mouth were finalized (Like you, I used those landmarks to place the neck). I was wondering why she kept looking thick. Thanks.
Mari,
Yes, there's a group that hires a model. They're not an organized group, and they tend to socialize while drawing, but it's better than nothing. The university art dept. also has open studio. The semester just started. I need to go there regularly. Plus, I draw myself in the mirror, and Janice posed for me this weekend.
Jean,
Excellent advice. I'm going to draw Norm's cat today!
