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 Learn

We will begin by going over the fundamentals and theory of what proportion and measuring in drawing is, and why it is important
Next we will tackle our first project and use the grid technique to work from a reference photo to produce a drawing with accurate proportions
Then 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 accurately
Finally we will move onto our third project where we will tackle a simple still life of 3 objects, using a variety of sighting techniques

What You Will Need
The materials for this class are super simple:

A Pencil
A few sheets of paper
An eraser
A ruler
A pair of scissors / scalpel and cutting mat
Some thread (or dental floss will do the trick!)
Sticky tape

This 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.
