Hi Jeanine,

I've attached a photoshop tinkering to illustrate the differences in the drawing. This is not exact because the resource is tiny, while your actual painting is large, but I hope it will be helpful.

The white lines represent vertical landmarks you could use to check the drawing accuracy. I used the top of his head, bottom of his beard, turn of his left shoulder, outermost point of his right elbow, outermost point of his left elbow, bottom of his hands, and crotch of his jeans, from top to bottom.

The green lines represent his head's width. You can mentally check your diagonals that way too, and the relative size of the canvas behind him.

I feel a little nitpicky in comparison to Marvin's larger points, but I'm still mucking around in the basics, myself.

Best
Lisa
