Video Training →Learn To Draw 3 Approaches To Measuring + Proportion

What you'll learn
Learn how to measure and draw with accurate proportions using 3 different methods, to improve the accuracy of your drawing
Learn the fundamentals of measuring and proportion in drawing, and why they are important
Understand how to use the grid method with a reference photo in order to create a drawing with accurate proportions
Create a viewfinder, and use it to draw from a real object, achieving correct proportions
Learn the 3 main sighting techniques, and how to use them together to construct a drawing of a simple still life, whilst drawing with realistic proprtions
Requirements
No prior drawing experience is needed
You will need a pencil, some paper, an eraser, a ruler, a pair of scissors (or scalpel and cutting mat), some thread and some sticky tape
Description
Being able to understand measuring and proportion is an essential skill when you are learning to draw - whether you want to draw realistically, or play with exaggerated proportions to develop your style.As a beginner, we're often more comfy drawing from reference photographs, and the transition to drawing from life can feel like a daunting task. This class is structured in such a way that we will bridge the gap between drawing from 2D references and drawing from life, whilst investigating how to ensure we are achieving accurate proportions in the process.We're going to do this by using three different approaches to using measuring and proportion techniques in 3 mini projects: You can follow along with one, two or all three projects!What You Will LearnWe will begin by going over the fundamentals and theory of what proportion and measuring in drawing is, and why it is importantNext we will tackle our first project and use the grid technique to work from a reference photo to produce a drawing with accurate proportionsThen we will progress to working from a single object to draw from for our second project, using the viewfinder technique to help us draw this accuratelyFinally we will move onto our third project where we will tackle a simple still life of 3 objects, using a variety of sighting techniquesWhat You Will NeedThe materials for this class are super simple:A PencilA few sheets of paperAn eraserA rulerA pair of scissors / scalpel and cutting matSome thread (or dental floss will do the trick!)Sticky tapeThis class is aimed at beginners or those with a little drawing experience, or even more experienced artists who would like a refresher on measuring and proportion techniques.
