This lesson is an introduction of a series about drawing proportions. It will mostly talk about basic concepts now, while talking in details about each aspect of these in the upcoming lessons. The most key aspect when it comes to getting things right is to practice what you learned after each lesson. So I highly advice to follow any exercise I give you. It’s not far-fetched to ask you to spend at least 5-6 hours of practicing for each 30 minutes to spend reading my posts, as just reading this blog won’t get you better at drawing. While you can get proportions right using rulers & other measuring devices, your end goal should be to train your eyes to do the measurement mostly by itself, or as close to that as possible. For a starter, you can simply use such measuring tools to help you understand the different proportions of the object you’re drawing, particularly when it comes to drawing complex objects you will draw often & get good at, like the human body.

They aren’t a perfect solution and they do require a bit of practice in order to master them. But keep in mind that drawing is a skill that can be attained by anyone if they are willing to put in a little work. Each technique is briefly discussed below with links to detailed lessons on the subject. 1. Sighting / Measuring We can use “tools” to

Creating beautiful design is about more than inspiration or a great idea, it’s about understanding the fundamentals of the subject. Although it’s possible to spend years studying the nuances of design and the many varying takes on how to be successful at it, there are a handful, or two, of basic elements that every designer should know before beginning any project. Even amateurs in the field who maintain personal blogs or only make a hobby of it can utilize these following ten tips to create professional looking pieces, and anyone who intends to earn money from the endeavor must know them. Rules were made to be broken, of course, but you have to know what they are first. 1. LINE The first and most basic element of design is that of the line. In drawing, a liene is the stroke of the pen or pencil but in graphic design, it’s any two connected points. Lines are useful for dividing space and drawing the eye to a specific location. For example, think about how a magazine uses lines to se
