Thread: does the height look right?

Tweet

I'm trying to get an idea as to how tall I should make my scarecrow. does this look right for the size of his head. He's about eight feet now plus his hat will be almost nine feet.




I plan on usising sticks branches and vines to hide the support structures. I think the height looks OK but the arms need to be shorter or jointed as to be reaching for you?

What's your opinion.

Personally I think the cross beam should be raised up higher towards the head...it will help with the proportion...

I like the height but the neck seems a bit long, and it they are shoulders, shorten them, if they are arms, lengthen them. Looking great so far! He'd also look good with a cut mouth.

yeah, I agree, raise the neck a little and add grapevine all over him , add a hat of some sort, and he will look more in portion

I was also thinking the arms need to be longer and raise them closer to head. But if you add branches to the arms that will lengthen them, so maybe it is ok. I like them straight to the side. More realistic. Looks like it will be a great scarecrow.
