Question. For this can we draw someone who is say, sitting and watching tv? (not a side profile but not full frontal) Or do you want them sitting facing directly at us to do this?
ReplyDeleteFirst thing I thought when I saw this was "oh man thats going to be awkward..." Ha.
You'll notice that not all of the examples are facing directly forward, you you're perfectly fine with a 3/4 view. I have no problem with that.
