Hi, I don't understand when you take the width that you have determined on the paper and then rotate the pencil vertically it to create a square how can you be sure that after rotating it the pencil hasn't moved from the original position?

@@mariocosentino3863 You should try to pinch your finger around the point of the pencil that maintains the measurement.

I'm 25 now and this video is super interesting to me because I have no freaking technique and wing everything lol but somehow it turns out nice probably just from spending so much time on it. Maybe I can finally incorporate such a technique as this into my process to make things easier and faster for me. ^^ Thank you dude

@gingerfreak01 9 месяцев назад

I was the same, and was subconsciously using some comparative size/position techniques (I love doing portraits) - I know that eye's a bit low and can fix it by moving it up where the eye cavity is level with x and y - but watching a few videos like this (which I thought was great btw) made me so much quicker, formalised my thinking, and with extra ideas. In fact these sort of vids made me feel I wasn't unartistic, which I've felt at times, they made me feel like I was on the right line. Incorporate it, it's so worth it! And look for other vids too around this subject. You'll be so much quicker and if you get frustrated or feel like it's busywork trying to get things in the right place, this sort of instruction is brilliant and lets you get on with the fun stuff.

@JH-pe3ro 4 года назад

Here is a guesstimate proportioning trick that I discovered today, which helps with proportioning complex forms before you've started breaking them down: First pick out a few points on the outline of your reference that you can use as anchors. Guess where those points land on the page, then sketch "probing" lines that simply connect all of the points to each other. All of the points will be somewhat wrong at first, but what happens when you connect them is that the probing lines will start to reveal where the error is, because they'll form different angles than what you see in the reference - and then you can go back for a more confident second pass. I've always struggled with proportion, but in a lot of cases, it comes down to a mix of using more reference and finding a way of constructing it that lets me calculate and subdivide with simpler, easier-to-estimate ratios.

@amysambrook1305 3 года назад

Hi I’m really struggling with proportions and accuracy so this is great! However I use watercolours and often find myself left with visible sketch lines or mucky eraser marks as watercolour paints are very faint and transparent and of course I use the unpainted paper as highlights so pencil marks show through. How would you deal with this problem? Thanks!

@SchaeferArt 3 года назад

I'm actually a watercolorist as well. But mostly landscapes so usually the sketch beforehand doesn't have to be that accurate - usually. What kind of subjects do you paint?

@krydala7650 3 года назад

Thank you so much, finally someone who explains the one thing I couldn't figure out.. I DO feel kind of dumb cause now the solution seems obvious.. just make either height or width a fixed length but maaaan... this taught me more of what i wanted to know than my art classes. Sometimes it's those small things that make all the difference. So again, thank you!
