what's the best way to measure?

sight-size is the easiest, but has the most drawbacks and is a form of crutch

comparative measurement is the hardest and nobody really explains how to do it well

>> No.3611622

>>3611606
Proportion is just the size of a form relative to other forms. So if you were to measure that on a reference you could probably say that this persons ear is maybe 2 eyes big comparatively or just use your pencil but you really should understand forms first.

Takes the reference photo and draw lines to measure shapes of main facial features like eyes, mouth, nose...
Then draw lines connecting facial features so that you can see the proportion between them.

You dont. Unironically you just draw. From life.

Are Scott Eaton's vids worth getting into and who is that lady? She looks familiar and it's annoying me that i can't place her.
