Common Portrait Proportion Flaws

	Thin Neck The child in the photo at left has a slender neck, but not this slender! Refer to the photo to see where his neck appears to touch his face and ear.
	Not Enough Forehead Children have proportion­ately larger foreheads than adults do. By making the forehead too small in this example, I've added years to the child's age.
	Cheeks Too Round Children do have round faces, but don't make them look like chipmunks. And be sure to make the ears round, not pointed.
	Sticks for Eyelashes Eyelashes should not stick straight out like spokes on a wheel. And draw the teeth as one shape; don't try to draw each tooth separately.
