My dyslexic brain reverses things so looking in a mirror as most artists do really messes with my head. I recently read that Norman Rockwell not only had models, but he used a simple light projector to TRACE a lot of the details in the photos he used. No wonder he could do proportions and details so realistically. I kind of envy his having that sort of tool available. My anatomy is always off and it drives me crazy. I know if if I had a model to work from I could achieve so much more of my goals. Of course to have a model, I would probably need a studio first. :wink:
