Course Description

Overview

Accurate proportion is vital if you want to learn how to draw realistically.

In this class we look at the technical side of measuring widths, lengths, angles and points that line up. By practicing these techniques you will gain an understanding of how to translate measurements from your subject into your drawing to achieve accurate and realistic proportion.

Draw along with me to practice measuring techniques and produce a 'skeleton' drawing that maps out your subject so you have an accurate base to work from.

This class is suitable for complete beginners or artists wanting techniques to use to improve the accuracy of their drawings.

Happy drawing!
