Tutorial: Proportionsby `Cataclysm-X

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Traditional Art / Drawing / Perspective

As promised, because I love you people:

My proportions tutorial!

Since every drawing is unique, I explained the techniques I used. It's up to you to practice them, yay!

You know... sometimes it makes me wonder why I keep posting tutorials since there are still a couple of people out there who say "I give people false hope" or "everything's fake anyway".

But when I read all the comments of fellow artists, e-mails of art students or people who just happened to come across my gallery and private notes of people who are happy to see my tutorials and find them really useful, I just melt!

And you know what? Even some art teachers are using my tutorials for school assignments after they've asked for my permission, lol!

What a strange world we live in.

----------------------------------------------

It's a shame I just don't have the time to publish my art book yet, but someday I will...

Have fun everyone and keep up the good work!
If there are any questions left, please feel free to note me about it!

Mirroring is always useful gives fresh look, so you can see mistakes right away! But for proportions.
I think the easiest way is to use Human Proportion Calculator I am using android App

Your Gallery is mindblowing!! Love realistic drawings and you are as close to perfect as I have seen! Your attention to detail is impeccable! All the very best to you for a creative lifetime ahead!
Your tutorials are all amazing! Thanks a lot for sharing! I am trying to get back into drawing full time after a really long hiatus and you give me impetus to want to try harder

Thank You!!

Oh, this is so useful, thank you so much!
I have never had any teacher, i only knew about freehand from... since i got bored at school for the first time and started drawing

And it was frustrating until i saw that it's not cheating if you use some help and this (your tut) is exactly what i needed. Thank you!

I have trouble mirroring the drawings

when I use the hand mirror I barely can see the flaws... so I have to flip my drawing and put it to a window with a lot of light to see them

its a bit frustrating ...
