Intro to Proportion Exercise (5-minute poses), charcoal on paper, 24"x28"
In this introductory exercise on human proportion, I borrowed a method I heard about from a student of Lennart Anderson. This simple method for quickly sizing up the human figure uses small register marks at the edges of the page. These give the students a reference by which to measure the figure. As they gain confidence, students are weaned off of this method, as proportions are internalized.
