because both eyes are the same size and dimension on the pixel plane - yet the portrait is in turned pose - the face appears 'flat'. this is reinforced by the fact we use the eyes as a primary reference when looking at a face: it doesn't matter that other elements might be in balance. taper off the right corner of the right eye to reflect the fact our faces are curved, not flat. as another poster suggests, also move the left eye down a little and all should be well. cheers, julian -- http://julianoliver.com http://selectparks.net emails containing HTML will not be read. -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
