Also, a reflected object will reflect in a mirror or calm water only as deep as it is tall. The only time this will change is if the surface of the water is moving or rippled, breaking up the reflection and extending it. Study the following examples very closly.
If we place figures at random in our picture and do not measure them one against the other we will probably end up withe some of the figures out of proportion and some possibly appearing to float.

People are of a general height and the minute a figurre is placed in the picture we automatically judge the size of all other objects by it. Figures that are placed more distant than oters will appeear smaller. The farther they are placed from the viewer, the smaller they will me.

It is simple to create a drawing with all of the figures in correct porportion to one another and to all other objects in the picture. Here are some exercises showing the methods.

Next, draw a line form the top and bottom of the figure to the vanishing point. This establishes the first figure and the guidelines for others to follow. Draw in the figure.
Next, using the first figure and the guidelines, draw in other figures in different places. The vertical distance between the top and bottom lines establishes the height for all of the other figures. This, of course, is for standing figures.
