Learn How To Draw Pt 4: Get Your Proportions Right!

In this lesson we tackle the important drawing skill of proportion! Proportion is the backbone of any good drawing. If you want to draw and sketch realistically you need a good understanding of how to compare widths and heights and how to measure angles. We start with a simple exercise and then work through a proportion diagram drawing of two objects. This free drawing lesson covers: • how to compare widths and heights • how to choose and use a unit of measurement • how to find the proportions of a single object • how to find the correct proportion between two objects This lesson is about practicing observation and sketching and the methods of proportion demonstrated are a step towards drawing from real life and being able to find the proportions of anything in any situation. MATERIALS: • Sketchbook • HB pencil (Im using a 3B so you can see it clearly) • eraser • something with a straight edge (not a ruler) ABOUT THIS COURSE Are you ready to learn how to draw?
