Divided Ball & Plane Method over Photographs 

Glad I could help! That’s awesome 👏🏼

@@Johnmccoyart It's really amazing how well it actually worked out as far as proportions. I've been meaning to do this myself with magazines, but all the magazines at the store are like $14 lol. But it totally worked on your pics!

Yes, it worked out really well! Yep magazines can be expensive, it’s better just to use some of your own pictures or if just for practice some license free images off the web

So glad! I was about to reply to your previous comment :)

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!

Awesome! I’m glad to hear that :)

You’re welcome! I’m glad this video was helpful for you. The ear placement is challenging for a number of reasons: variation in ear size (depending on the individual subject being drawn), apparent change in size (due to viewing the subject from too close vs. farther away), and the apparent change in position (based off the angle/tilt of the head or viewing angle). That’s why it’s so helpful to have a method like this with axis and rules about placement that represent a consistent form despite rotation/tilt/angle change. That, combined with a lot of practice, learning to see by drawing, and through time and practice, recognizing the same patterns of forms and how they behave when all the variables change are what ultimately allow us to gain mastery in drawing them.

Hello! I hear you, but there’s nothing to be ashamed about. Drawing people is the greatest challenge and we are always learning! I’m glad to hear this video was helpful for you :) welcome to the channel and happy drawing!
