Ever drawn a person whose head looks like a balloon? Or a cat with legs longer than a giraffe’s? You’re not alone! Proportions are tricky, but once you learn a few clever tricks, you’ll be sketching balanced, believable drawings in no time.
In this section, we’ll help you lay the groundwork for greatness. Think of proportions as the blueprint for your masterpiece — once you get those right, everything else becomes easier (and way more fun). So sharpen those pencils, roll out your imaginary ruler, and let’s get your outlines right.
Whether you’re shading a soft apple or a dramatic dragon, the magic’s in the midtones. You’ll learn how to sculpt with pencil strokes, using nothing but your eyes, your hands, and a little bit of shading wizardry.
