A Problem Of Great Porporation

2:17 AM, Saturday October 15th 2022

Heyo! today i was wondering do the porporations affect the exercise drawing's quality as a drawabox exercise like if you slapped your lesson homework into critique it would be critisized for those problems or would it be fine as long its spatially consistent and tight? i haven't reached lesson 5 but i would not be surprised if this was more prominent with that lesson

Proportions only really matter at lesson 6 and 7, in the case of lesson 5 you should focus more on making the construction as solid as possible. That way even if you drew the head a little too big or the body a little smaller etc. it will still look fine as long as it's been constructed properly. If you focus too much on proportions you will not get the same value from the exercise as you would be too worried trying to make it look good.

ahhh that makes sense i was worried that if my drawing weren't porporationally (hoping i spelled that correct) accurate it would damage the exercise's quality it's good to know what to focus on instead rather than worrying about the excess stuff thanks!

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
