Description Eh, I'm no expert, but here you go BruiseyandKeith1

lulz There're more ways to "measure" but I'm just trying to simplify it the best way I can. (I can make 2 more tutorials on other measuring tricks…grids etc.) I normally don't draw using grids or guidelines…some people draw sketches of circles and lines first then outline….I just draw straight out (with loose sketches) Everyone works differently. Experiment to see what you like best.


Best thing to do is creep on people and make gazillion of sketches to improve. 


Just notice the relative position of the ears to where the eyes are. How many arms does it take to go down a body? Where does the elbow bend in relation to someone's waist? Notice where someone's fingertips end on their thighs. Etc. These things help composing a proportionate body. 


Guys, I apologize on answering to your comments like a snail. I just got back home…and gotta apply to work places and such. 0_0 They get taken so damn fast. lol i still have yet to compose a proper resume. Sigh. Dafuq AiDYN!

Did you measure it from your inner wrist to the inner fold of your elbow?


No I didn't make that up. ^^

I can't believe my foot is the length of my forearm, it's true but sounds so crazy. Thanks for the great tutorial!

And your key/wristband thing looks really cool.

So you finally gave in and made a tutorial. I still remember that video you made where you said just search for tutorials instead because those will be more helpful :P

This actually made sense to me. Maybe I actually WILL try drawing sometime. (The last drawing I made for someone --- their roommate thought they had a secret four year old kid. Hahhaha!)

Did u know that the length across from tip of middle finger to tip of middle finger is your height? (I haven't measured but I have heard that a lot.)

SnaiLords In reply to BloodBeatnJustice [2014-01-11 08:29:54 +0000 UTC]

I have heard of that length from finger tip to finger tip thing too.


Lawd, I'm short by that proportion shah~ then again…I am short anyways. 


PSH, bring on the 4 year old=like drawings XD

*puts foot on arm* OMG!

I'm more of a doodler when it comes to this sort of thing, but this was still interesting! My main thing is trying to do a 3/4's portrait looking to the left without it looking like a whacked out pencil neck! And also, when a person is turned at 3/4ths, I can NEVER get the shoulders right! They end up looking like just their heads are turned!

I never fail to become extremely depressed when I'm reminded my feet are as long as my forearm. Like there's a few extra inches to my forearm but it's generally the same and that's just so sad to me like why are my feet so big god dammit?!

true but I still wish I could have the small dainty feet of those short cute people I will never look liked. On the upside, you know what they say about big feet... Big socks. :'D
