A child has a round head instead of an egg-shaped one, the eyes being in the middle of the head. A tiny baby's eyes may be placed a little below the middle.
Children have no busts, their eyes are large and wide-awake, with a peculiar turn to the upper lid. Their noses are short and small and their mouths small and chubby. Their cheeks stick out. Their hands and arms are chubby as are also their legs and feet. They wear square, flat shoes.
When drawing children, give them plenty of action and make them interested in some toy, etc.
Children are used for so many purposes besides fashions, that the student would do well to devote much time to them. In advertisements, cards, book-covers, etc., children play a great part. Lesson XXX deals with this class of work.
By this time the student should know enough of the outline of the figure to be able to use books on anatomy to advantage. Inquire at the library for books on this subject. Make numerous drawings from these books, also make drawings of ladies and children in underclothes, from catalogues.
