Pat, untill very recently I thought that measuring the approx. placement proportions would do. I learned that to get a likeness one will have to measure everything at least twice, and not trust the eye. I guess I have to tell my self this many times in the future. When it comes to cheating I`d say we cheat ourselves when we trust the eye only.
your painting of this boy will be a success.
