    in the first picture theres contor lines on the outline of the mouth. Cross contor lines a shown on the mount and lips area. there is proportion when it shows the arms in contrast to the body.

  3. the fruit bowl is a still life because it is dead and non moving. It is in proportion(size). it uses contour lines or out lines and then also uses cross contour lines for the detail in the fruit and bowl. it also uses composition, which is the organization of everything.
