Which Daydream Pose?

Posted bySusan K. MarlowPosted inUncategorized

I don’t want Jenny to look too “old,” but I like her dreamy expression in the first image. Which do you prefer? (Not that Kregel will use them anyway, but it’s fun to create just for fun!)

Or . . . does she look young enough in #1 and I should keep the daydreaming expression, since she gets in trouble for it on the last day of school? Thanks for your help, and my author friend thanks you too for all your feedback from yesterday’s post.

#1-dreamy but older-looking

#2 – more the right age, 12th bday.

  5. I think both look good and she looks young in both pictures. But I noticed in #2 that her copybook is upside down (I don’t know if that was intentional?).

  7. I think #1 looks more like a daydreamer than #2. # 2 looks more like she’s smiling from something that might be taking place in the classroom.

  9. I think #1 is better. She doesn’t look too old, and I really like the dreamy look. I actually think she looks younger than 12 in #2.

  22. I think she looks better in #1. The second one makes her look too young and also gives the appearance of her smiling at something in the class. I do think that making her hand relaxed and her pen not poised on the paper would make the first one more realistic. If she were truly in the middle of “woolgathering,” she wouldn’t be so poised and ready to write (in my opinion).

  24. I like one much better. In my opinion Jenny looks too young in the second one. One is a better option for what you’re wanting; a dreamy day-dreaming effect. 2 kinda looks like she’s looking at her teacher or someone in front of her and is exited for a lesson or recess or something like that. ALL my opinion though!

    I haven’t read the other comments but just now as i’m finishing up i’m seeing that anonymous is sayign the same thing… lol
