Okay. So here's what happened at the Party.
The Guest of Honor didn't show up until I was there for over half an hour. And when she did, she wanted to go around to all the tables before getting in to the picture.
So I was taken by Surprise. Having planned on drawing her first, I instead had to try to leave room for her. This put a crinkle in my plans. Without the main person to relate to, I didn't know how to design the picture. Without meaning to do so, faces started to frame the center which I was trying to leave available for the Guest of Honor. It started to look like everyone was rotating out from the center of the picture - designed like a Ferris-Wheel or something. Lalala - it would look like I did it on purpose but I sure didn't. It is a design, but I would not have liked it. Dorky. Contrived. Controlled.
It was hard, but I forced a change in the picture. I started flipping the people around. Took a chance, and it worked! Whew!
But then, when the guest of honor arrived, the only way her particular look would fit into the space that was left was to put her sort of sideways. Luckily, there was still enough time to add other people around her, so it softened the situation.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm an Artist or a Magician.
The more experiences I have, the more I know how to deal with every contingency that comes up.
I fit at least 20 people on this one 22x28 paper. It sure looks like a big group of people when they all stood together. Wow
