    Thanks Karen, that is brilliant. It seems to me that the head at the horizon works because that is the level of the viewer's/artist's eye and head. No matter where we and they are, close or far, our eyes are at about the same level - except for children and, as you say, unless your view is from the top of a cliff.

    This is one of the most helpful video’s I’ve ever seen in in drawing/painting people properly. I’ve often drawn them as carrot figures which on some paintings didn’t quite work out too well. (I never knew why until I watched your video.) For that reason I stopped trying to add figures to my paintings, but now after I practice a bit of course, will start adding them again - this time correctly and in the right perspective!
    Thank you for your help because now that I know what I was doing wrong I can and will correct it by using your method.
    Thank you once again for a great video.
    P. S. I’ve just now subscribed and am looking forward to more of your enlightening videos!
