The Silhouette Challenge continues

I am finding I like ultramarine blue best for my silhouettes.  I also am finding I am not getting the legs long enough...a common problem.  I am going to have to go back to Donna's suggestion to make some divisions and see if I can get that more realistic.  I know everyone says exaggerate the legs in length and exaggerate the head smaller than you think.
  
I like making them in various heights because in some paintings I just want a suggestion of a figure but in others I'd really like a figure to be important.

  1. I like what you've done!! Did you sketch first (pen or pencil) or paint first??
    The dimensions look pretty good to me!
