• How to Draw Accurate P...
I've been drawing self-taught for my whole life, and I never understood why people do that or what it's for, thanks lol
Happy to help!
The bleep caught me off guard 😂
From my own experience as a intermediate artist, its good to find balance between going by memory and using techniques like these to understand your model. Doing too much measuring is just going to be a pain to do, but just eyeballing it all the time could lead to glaring inaccuracies
I think it’s a good idea to do a lot of measuring early on. Doing so helped me develop my observational skills enough to where I can now eyeball most of the time down the line
i actually didnt realise this was a real technique i thought it was just a movie thing 😶
Very useful technique for traditional art! Doing this regularly early on in my art journey helped me developed my observational eye enough to where I can safely eyeball most things now
My thumb now has a splinter, but I am grateful for this gem of a short
Art is always joy and tears...
I had a teacher in school who told me this while I was learning to draw, such a solid technique.
I find marking the reference points on paper challenging, but this helps me to understand how to do it. 😅😊
The measuring technique is what inspired Jorge Jimenez to dropkick that sh*t and double down on comics and drawing what he loved in his own way ❤
I'm happy my art teacher explained this to us on class
I really wanted to know this! Thank you so much ❤
Today i actually understood how to measure. Thanks for the help.
😂😂😂 such is the life of an artist
Wow, I never knew that. Thank you. You are one of the best art youtubers.
Jesse pinkman when looked by 2 point perspective ❤🔥
...and at some point this is substituted (maybe using this to check when something "feels" wrong) by sth much more instinctive, intuitive. Ending up not measuring it, as the brain starts somehow doing it by itself. But it's only possible if you started doing all these things, measuring everything with everything (with the pencil or using other ways). Greeks 2k or 2.500 years+ ago would compare even one finger with any other parts of the body. (why I feel some incoming joke here...)
Yes. I used this technique a lot early on in my journey and now I can go without it most of the time
Thank you very much sir
This is a tool to use, but there’s inconsistencies with this when doing it. I’m self taught and I’ve never resorted to this. I always make a vanishing point or imagine a vanishing point and build my character from that. Even when studying another persons work I tend to try and find a point where a lot of the body lines up. I’m not knocking this technique, I’m just saying use it as a tool if you are having trouble, but really try to find out how the artist themselves constructed their drawing and try to learn from it
How did it align THERE???
That's very coincidental...
The crotch is the center of the universe... It makes you think.
@@3polygonsayo?
I use a separate sighting stick when I draw. Just a crochet needle. What's the difference between sighting and measuring again?
Woah that's cool
ye i'll never do that lmao
pls give a video of you how to drawing
I got taught how to do this and I just don't like how it also requires the drawing surface to be upright. I don't got the money nor space for an easel, unfortunately
Honestly I came here for the drawing tip... But also to see your handsome being and existence 😂😏🤪
He is the best ❤
Why do you remind me of jesse from breaking bad. Did you move to Alaska and get an alias? I mean, Jesse used to draw and you do draw now so proko exposed? Why did you stop cooking. The crystal candy is amazing! Keep up the good work.
ART is also a Science 👌
Nobody gonna talk about how dude's pencil tip grew longer??
What about on a paper? U cant lock out ur arm when the paper is that close to u
You use this measuring technique when drawing from a reference. You'll hold your hand up and get a measurement, then reach down to your paper to make your marks and lines.
We have a longer video on this technique:
ruclips.net/video/tZtnKp4fAPk/видео.html
wont the length of the pencil tip change as you draw?
You can do this with any kind of stick or straight object
you are using your thumb to indicate the length. If the pencil is more blunt, then your thumb would simply be further down. The point is to have a frame of reference, In this case the head. You use the pencil and your thumb to measure the head, and then relate it to the rest of the figure. The size of the head (or any other frame of reference) dosnt change.
I really thought that those moves was for show off
Assuming we all have good eyesight😢
I always thoughts this was just a meme thing that people said etc, didnt know it was actually used for measuring
At first I thought you were drawing Otzi 😅
In between is another 999 wrong measurements
I did not read that as pencil...
the groin
Great info.....short format is terrible in general
❤❤❤❤❤
7,5 or 8 heads in a usual adult male body, 9 for a way too tall dude or "heroic" proportions. I blame the ancient Greeks for that. But remember: the head's size is not what is important, but how you use it.
👇🏼 I just wanted to remind you in that video where are you said there’s so many people who draw here wrong there is no right or wrong way to draw anything😂
He mostly talks about realism so I think he meant that
@@AIIuminium Indeed, even to later on develop a non realistic style, all the academic base serves for a better "version" of reality, no matter how imaginative it gets.
I learned this from blue period anime lol get better dudes
