Techniques in Proportional Drawing Pretest

Basically, this technique is used by artists to focus on the framework of the reference rather than being distracted by details. This way you can make sure that there is accuracy in your illustrations.

• Breaking down objects into Basic Shapes

• Drawing in Perspective

• Observing Negative Space

• Gesture Drawing

This technique like the proportional drawing through basic shapes requires more of the artists’ skills. Instead of looking at your subject, this technique requires you to look at the space behind the reference then make out the shapes that block out the subject.

• Gesture Drawing

• Drawing in Perspective

• Observing Negative Space

• Breaking down objects into Basic Shapes

This drawing technique is used by the artist to create an illusion of space. In this technique your basis for accuracy depends on the number and location of your vanishing point.
