Drawing distortions and relative height of canvas format

Allan,
First, thank you for your comment. I would like to understand it better, however. Do I understand you to mean that the canvas should have been horizontal (as it was at first start) or do you mean that I should have dropped his head furrther? I also cropped the picture in iPhoto (after the painting was well on the way, of course) where the entire elbow and part of the bear's nose, and almost all of the shorts were eliminated. I rather liked that composition better, but it was too late for that painting.
