Ilaria,

Children, the dilemma, lovely subjects, lousy models.

I hate to be a fly in the ointment of all these lovely comments, but I am having trouble reading this. I thought it was a truncated carpet. If you have to describe what they are sitting on for it to make sense, then it is not working pictorially. There is too much distraction between the two heads as well.

I have found this works, tho' expensive. I have a large blowup of the pose set up next to the child. I call the child "bad Ashley" for example, and the picture "good Ashley". The kids get the joke, they don't sit much better, but you can grab the color from them and the drawing from the photo.

I did the little girl on my site in the ballet costume that way.

Also, that foot opn the left looks wrong.
