Check Relationships Between Objects on the Vertical and Horizontal Axis Important: If you’re following along, you’ll want to use very light pressure so you can easily erase any mistakes you make.Ģ. You should never leave measuring to the very end! Measuring after I draw is a way for me to do a final check to find mistakes that I may have missed and a way to gain confidence in the finished product. It’s very helpful when drawing portraits of people I’ve never seen before. Measuring before I draw helps me understand what I’m seeing and familiarize myself with the subject. I like to measure my subject before, during and sometimes even after I finish my portraits. You can use these techniques in any order, wherever you see fit. When you draw, it’s best to use as many measuring techniques as possible.
I’m going to introduce a few techniques to measure and check your accuracy. The more time you spend trying to improve the accuracy of your drawing, the better you will “see”. When drawing, most of my time is spent on measuring, comparing, re-measuring and re-comparing. If you want to draw a subject or scene with accurate proportions, you must employ proper techniques and train your eyes over time. Proportion simply refers to the size relationships between objects.
