For this classical dome project featuring two figures and birds, Randy Ingram and Brian Townsend used models to maximize realism.

1. Ellen Bendon, the femle model, was photographed in the required pose.

2. The photograph was used to create a pencil drawing.

3. The completed figure shows tremendous realism.

1. Randy Ingram climbed onto a van to strike the pose envisioned for the dome.

2. The pencil captures the pose from the photograph.

3. The final result bears resemblences to the original photograph, but facial features are changed.

1. A miniature color study provides an accurate rendering of the final project.

2. Areas of the mural are blocked in.

3. The completed dome project shows a remarkable degree of realism.
