7" X 5", o/cp
In the world of nerds (like the one I'm married to) and internet forums (which I frequent), FTFY stands for "fixed that for you." One alters and restates something to express a correction or one's own impression, adding "FTFY". Here we have a sort of visual example. I posted previously about the value of painting from fashion magazines or catalogs, for practice. When I do this, often without thinking, I "correct" the model's proportions to reflect a more realistic physique--because very few people are size zero. The figure above is one that I painted to look more like a real person. Here's the source photo from the LL Bean catalog...it's not an egregious example, but still. It's the principle of the thing. Fixed that for you, LL Bean.
