I'm personally going for 8 1/2 heads. I'd go for 9 but I don't have the stamina.

I suppose the next thing you are all wanting to know from this book is, What is Bad Girl body language and what is Good Girl body language? (I actually learned something from this chapter, by the way.)

I'm reading comics, and the rest of you are out there reading Masterly Secrets of Masterful Oil Painters Masters.

About body language - this book says you have to set forth clues to character even in repose, and one of the clues to character is in level of tension in repose. You show level of tension by increasing the amount of arch, curve, twist or spiraling actions. The more tension, the more "unsettling", dangerous, etc.

I have always felt that one of the reasons Sargent got into trouble for his Madame X portrait is not just because of the slipped strap, it's that twisting arm on the table.

Anyway, I find this kind of thing very interesting, just thought I'd share this.
