I still cannot escape math in art 😢, even if its just simple measuring

That pants 😂😂 Thanks for the helpful video btw ❤

Lol the paper underwear cracked me up

Preciate the pair kf shorts

I seriously appreciate your videos. They're great. Every time I 'fall out of love' with drawing, I see one of your videos and it brings me back.

I somehow made that up myself so I can measure everything! I didn't know it was an actual art tip 😮

Your drawings are always so precise… that’s my biggest struggle, which depending on the teacher it may be a good or bad thing 😂

In love with the idea of the pant😂😂😂 truly artistic 😂

I'm not saying this is a bad tip, but I don't think I'll really use this. My brain is too smooth.

Can I just say I adore your style! It's been something I've been trying to build up and your breakdowns have been amazing!

I've been using the head measurement for my art Since I started my journey And it does help

Helpful! These shorts are real nice, short and sweet.

Thaaaat sounds absolutely smart to me. I would have never thought about this 😅

Those shorts are everything!! 😂😂😂

ur shorts videos are BEST

I’ve been drawing on and off for most of my 31 years of life. I can only ever imagine drawing anime. When I saw your sketch I damn near fell out of my chair. I wish I could draw realism

Thanks for the fistbump this afternoon!

Why is your art so beautiful?😢

Love you stan and the proko team

Thank you big man This helped my small brain understand the big brain stuff more easily

i wonder if proko has done a video on the eye method where you use eyes to measure the entire body for 100% accurate proportions every single time

great information ❤sir

I’m self taught and have been doing this even before knowing that it was a proper technique 😹

Thank you

I wonder how to measure when the body/parts are in perspective, especially when you don't have reference and can't rely on negative space

someone : which measureing unit is your favorite? me : heads

How do I show off my art

Oh man this consistency stuff is hard

Why shouldn't you use one unit, such as the head, to measure anything and everything in your drawing? What would be a better, and more consistent, unit to measure from?

There's a reason why i draw the head first and this is why

Nice

Americans - *It's showtime baby*

Ah yes, the head is roughly 7 big toes tall.

i wish you could see some of my character sketches

How do you get the tones looking so right?

how do you measure in perspective?

Metric users: this is why imperial system exists. Because sometimes you wanr units that give easy calculations for different purposes instead of one universal system.

remember 7 and half!

Foreshortening: (poops all over this technique and laughs at you)

Meanwhile me drawing heads of different sizes everytime so I'm unable to use method of measurement because my brain thinks in non mathematical way for no other reason than to just make my life and learning harder for no reason: *surprised Pikachu face.*

❤👏🏽

LMAOOO the underwear

Does this work for Wembanyana?

I have a question, if we were to draw a body in other perspectives like from the birds eye view or worms eye view, can we still use the same measurements? :0

❤❤❤❤

Bro how to compare every part

how can I draw memory

This is one of the few times that I actually disagree with proko. By definition, proportions are how any one part relates to the whole or any other part. One ruler isn’t as useful as having the ‘right’ ruler. Measuring the entire body in heads is tedious and fails when foreshortening is introduced or cartoon stylization. The smaller your ruler, the more times you have to measure. The more times you have to measure, the more human error you introduce. You want keep in mind as many comparisons as possible and use the right one for the right moment. The humerus vs the rib cage. The humerus vs the forearm + half a hand. The upper torso vs the lower torso (clavicle to bottom of rib cage = bottom of rib cage to crotch). Head to crotch is roughly crotch to ankles keeping in mind a big head throws that off a bit. If I could only measure against one non-exact unit, I’d be *more* prone to error. Measure the Empire State Building in inches using only a 4 inch ruler… but why when we know 12 inches make a foot and three feet make a yard? Wouldn’t the yard stick make *more* sense? So let’s say you’re drawing an indoor scene. How tall should the roof be? Well standard in the US is 8ft ceilings and people are just under 6ft tall on average. So block out your room and use a 6ft person (3/4ths the height of any part of the wall) as your proportional ruler for objects in the room. In this example you use one measurement to create a lot of things and it works well enough because your ruler is appropriately sized. Homes *were* made with people in mind, after all. It makes sense that they can be measured using people. What about something scaleless? A grand sci-fi or fantasy structure made by some unknown civilization or in honor of a long forgotten king? This is where we get general and multi-step: - we know how big a person is - we know a grown tree is pretty big - we know a mountain is huge The question then becomes "how do I want the viewer to feel" instead of "how big is this nonexistent thing." Having this structure dwarf mountains far in the background with a person sitting under a tree in the foreground gives a stepwise feel to it. Couple it with some three point perspective and you’ll get a grand feeling by gazing up or a feeling of helplessness or insignificance by gazing down at it. Use more than one ruler. It helps to confirm if it stacks up against multiple measurements. As the old saying goes "measure twice and cut once."

But what if I'm pain' a potrait? 🤔

How to shade like that?

My art have ben so muttch beter sins i subed to u. So ty🎉

Thanks for advise

Second✌️

Uh… Indeed Americans use anything but metric system.

There exists something called a ruler…

First

Sorry this is not work l,riley not work and loomis not work because perspective and every body is diferent.only few inches closer or further and this is big diference.i dont know if you not learned about perspective or ignored.hands and lgs is bigger proposition that heat because closer.and heal smaller because further also leg is under angle not work.Also 7 and half head not working because every body is diferent 6 to 8 head.People diferent proportion-long legs,short legs,long torso.....This is good for sketches like loomis but useless as real person art.Also this is long way how to learn because you must learn about how to draw eye ,nose,ear,lips,body hands...10years later -ok im done now i must learn how to draw animal or enviromental,building,landscape....Only you must learn about ange a proportion-no head or body but about what you see like old masters.People go to outside and sketch real peolple .Go to bus station or park,beach....But real people with natural light not photography with 10 light source
