When I'm designing a painting, one of the minor details
that can add a lot to the personality of the child
is the placement of the nipper cap and the goggles.
one of the techniques I use to decide the placement of the eyewear
is to make a 'cut-out'....I draw a pair of goggles on black paper,
cut them out, then try them in different positions on the painting.

....or on the cap?
....for this little nipper, 'on the cap' won the toss!
it's a simple technique,
and it works for me!
