This is more helpful than spending 4 hours in my drawing class.

i like how you managed to get straight to the point and only talk about the subject on hand. really informative and definitely helped me figure out how to not fuck up my proportions.

the length of the lead on the pencil gives me anxiety

[evangelinepoe]

Thanks. I've been teaching myself to draw so I'll give this technique a try.

Holy... This what i need for a long time ago, i have been learning to draw but no improvement at all, thank you so much

[Blablablahx]

Been drawing by myself since I was a little kid. 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

You have no idea how much the way you teach can resonate with someone

You are an amazing teacher! I’m so glad I’ve found you. Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge.

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.

This has to be the first time in my life that I searched for something and found *exactly* what I was looking for! This helps so much! Thanks!

[krydala]

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!

100 drawing vids later about proportions and yours is by far the only true way to capture reality, not the formulaic and statuesque formula most others practice, thanks

[chadcarpenter]

Great video, very helpful. Everything I know I've pretty much been self taught and would love a career in art. Your videos are very informative

[andrealnborg]

I cannot tell you how much this video and method improved my proportions. Thank you for sharing!

[yunusatas]

thank you for sharing! I am new to drawing and trying to be a self thought medical illustrator. ı am always out of proportions. thank you and really looking forward to more tutorials of all kind.

[allmyrattys]

Wow I learned so much from this! I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Thanks so much!

[nicolasjass]

For someone who is trying to learn how to draw on their own from scratch, this is incredibly helpful and easy to interpret!
