hierarchy of needs. For portrait where you want
to depict Power, Wealth, Self Realization or

the focus is on capturing emotions so quarter or
half size will do.

staggering things you noticed in the object.
Add adjectives to it. Make a list. "straight"
Nose, "broad" Shoulders etc. Now decide start
points and end points of every part in the body

have right start and end points.

emotions/expressions the painter is mostly
attracted towards in the personality of the
object.
