Beautiful and easy. Can’t wait to try it

@SchaeferArt 5 лет назад

It looks easier than it is but it is a straightforward and simple method :) Just be patient and do your best! I have drawings sometimes that I start and have to redo them 4 or 5 times before I actually get it right haha.

Great tutorial!! I still using the famous grid method, takes a lot just to start the draw

@SchaeferArt 5 лет назад

Hope it was helpful! Just in case you might not know, one way to progress from the grid method is to slowly start using less lines and bigger squares on your grid, and you'll start developing more hand-eye coordination :) Anyways, have fun either way!

@@SchaeferArt I'm trying , just in the eyes, mouth and nose sometimes i'm still using more.. thanks for the response!!

@SchaeferArt 5 лет назад

Ah I see :) No problem!

@nithyasreesathyanarayanan5611 3 года назад

I usually use the ruler to measure the height and width of objects. It’s pretty useful but your idea is awesome! Using just your pencil to make proportions is quite difficult for me but I’ll learn it slowly! Also can you make a tutorial on drawing full human body proportions? Like on which length the shoulders, torso, legs begin and such. Thank you! ❤️

@SchaeferArt 3 года назад

Glad to hear, it just takes some practice. You can do it :)

@__L__837 Год назад

How would this method work in the case of different perspectives? I’m assuming that the subject in the front will always be bigger than whatever is behind it so would you mess with the sides that you ‘locked’ to adjust to that or what?

@SchaeferArt Год назад

I'm sure what you mean exactly. This method basically flattens everything. There is no 3D or perspective, it's just focusing on exactly what you're looking at or seeing.

Thanks it really help me out....when will you do another livestream?

@SchaeferArt 5 лет назад

Glad to hear! I'm not too sure about a livestream date at the moment. My girlfriend is studying for finals for law school for the next 2 weeks so don't have much time unfortunately. As soon as I can though, I might do one. What would you like to see in the next livestream? I'm always open to ideas :)

I want to do portraits but struggle to do proportion I tried this method but keep making mistakes erasing my paper ughhhhh help

@mikelmugica8762 4 года назад

This is a good tutorial. What is your opinion on basic proportions? Some people try to defend the method with their lives, but I think it is a confusing and therefore bad method to draw portraits.

@SchaeferArt 4 года назад

I think they can be slightly helpful, but yes, it's better to just observe your subject.

More proportions :D.

@SchaeferArt 5 лет назад

Trying to jam it into people's brains so they will understand it and put it to use :) haha.

@earljustinemendoza8267 5 лет назад

Can you make a video on how you discovered your talent?

@SchaeferArt 5 лет назад

I don't think I discovered my talent. I started drawing around age 4 or 5 and got encouragement from my family and just stuck with it and improved my skills over the years. Hard work and putting in the hours. Patience. That's how I discovered my talent.

@beingyourself6813 5 лет назад

where is another video to explain how to measure the proportion?

@SchaeferArt 5 лет назад

This one might help further: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1zx-0cV8aug.html You can use anything to measure - a ruler, a pencil etc.. it's about a relationship between two measurement distances.
