Thanks for the tips, guys.

I finally got everything arranged last night, and all is set per your input. The view is much better and I'm not crouching. I have a plumbline attached to a yardstick clamped to my easel, so I have a constant reference. I'm all set, except for this: I've tried various lamps and positions for lighting my workspace, and the minimum effect to the cast of this second light I can come up with is a bit of wash-out on the top of Apollo's head. I've arranged the lamp so that it is hidden by the drawing board, but there is still a noticeable effect on the top of the head of the cast when I turn it on.

How do you guys deal with this? Lower wattage easel lamp?

Thanks again,

Minh
