It's a communion with each other. A single figure on a panel icon with 1/2 awful is very seldom depicted in 3/4 parts. When they are, it is usually as a part of a larger composition of Penhall icons called bases, which means intercession and their place on either side of an icon of Christ showing that there interceding to him. That is what almost all of the panel icons of the saints in the 3/4 post on other third tacos, said John, the forerunner Holy Apostles and the archangels Michael Gabriel, as well as the profits. These panel icons are usually found on the status of the church, but they're also exercise concert painted on single panels. This part is also sometimes used in icons of saints depicted in deceiving to Christ, Black saying, saying up ST Petersburg crashes, depicted in the top corner of the eye but without any further ado, never skipped a drawing. 2. S2T4.2 Basic Structure: and this isn't gonna be going off Angel Michael. And, as always, excess line find top of the head, maybe even nothing Fine into three hits trying to make extra room in the bottom, trying not to make it shorter than three heads because it ends up squashing figure or Michael haven up too big for the body. We're gonna hesitated with angle. Find the middle point. I know it's starting at six. They for it, For the place. Yeah.

Figure was one in the hall fates, but we're looking and the figure from an angle This side is becoming out towards and this side is more so we're gonna add Okay. Hey, today, give us the width of the body That gives us roughly one and a carp aids just debates all come down here. Okay? We find the position of the body. Always a This on is roughly off the heads with And this one is hand, remember? Is I'm vulnerable. Hey, this hang just hidden behind the body without hand holding a stall So we're not gonna see on fully with hand Come around Yeah, yeah 3. S2T4.3 Garments and Wings: way break up lines. Does that help create a sense of movements? - Now that we know with the army on the X, I'm gonna have this line tells us. Keep everything. - No , it's been one with wings. Find that same fight using 4. S2T4.4 Face and Hair: around this as well. What? Wait for the full explanation facing people. - Because we're assuming that this is in the day. Says we're gonna have eyes looking to worlds Christ. Whereas if it's that we're not to the day since it could be looking towards you even now today we can. But it's always assume that it the figures looking away from the view in that part of composition and they're looking towards Christ or another person in position way have it depends of these lines here.
