Reference drawings/photos of children

[Garth Herrick]

Hi Lynn,

Does anyone else in your community have similarly sized children? I'm sure the next time you visit the supermarket you will find half a dozen kids propped in grociery carts, where you will be able to casually but keenly observe leg proportions and make a few mental notes. Also ask again how tall your 2 year old subject was at the time, because that age is a time of tremendous growth and development, and there is so much individual variation.

You have quite a challenge before you. Are your clients absolutely sure their kids would not be more rewarding to paint at their present age?

Good luck!

Garth
