Have you ever stood behind a parent with their baby thrown over their shoulder? The baby is getting an entirely different view of life than the parent. As an artist it is nice to get a fresh pair of eyes to take a look at your painting or illustration. Sometimes they see things that you have missed. Even an untrained eye can comment and send you in a different direction on your painting. You can also take a look at it in a mirror or take the color out so you can see if you’ve caught the values. Looking at your painting in a different way or through the eyes of someone else can help you see what’s going on and improve your art.

This is lovely, Sherry! I love it. Your link isn’t working on Illustration Friday unfortunately, although it does bring you to your home site.
Thank you Paige. I’m technologically challenged. I double check my post before I upload my illustration for Illustration Friday. I think I’ve got it just right and baboom it doesn’t work. I’ll keep trying and eventually I’ll get it or maybe I’ll just keep trying.
It’s adorable!
Love this idea… it is so true, children have such a different view of the world…
