How to look at a Prout
- Find a long straight edge in a Prout and notice it is not a single line. Count the breaks.
- Look at the figures. Their heads line up with the horizon. Their feet tell you how far away they stand.
- Find the darkest doorway and the lightest sunlit wall. They are nearly always touching.
