@einarjungmann273 Intelligent study of these plates will help both your work from life and photo reference. Understanding Bargue’s decision making process for his selective, edits from the plaster cast will help you make more efficient decisions to describe form in light and shadow with minimal tones and good edge work. You’ll also improve your proportion sense.

12:01 - this is incredible way of start to see and understand shapes and form! I am so thankful for your educational videos! I was searching for too long for this method! Do you have patreon? :))

15:27 - Question about plum line: You are showing that plum line needs to be on the bottom on the angle to the left. How it is? Why? You have correct line according to the Barque drawing. I just don't understand you said: why it is needs to be different than you drew? Thank you 🌱

You use plum lines to double-check what you do visually by eye without any measurements. At 15:27 I believe I was saying that the plum line helped me find the top and bottom relationship of two points.

In the Bargue book they state that you should be standing at a distance of 3 ‘drawing heights (ie paper height)’ away from your drawing when doing your measuring. In this video you are directly copying by laying your line over the image. Not sure if this you doing a simple demo to get the viewer to see what the sight-line is kind of about ? They also talk about using a proper plumb line as this comes in for live drawing apparently.

In essence, sight line is about standing away from your drawing and your subject and seeing the lines (subject and drawing are the same scale, ie 1:1). You make a line on your paper, move to your vantage point and then check it. You then adjust until it matches your subject (by changing and going back to your vantage point - it’s laborious!!). The vertical line on your drawing should match the real life sighted plumb-line. You have to keep your arm out straight when doing any measurements and parallel to the floor. Elbow locked. This keeps every measurement the same and relative angles in check. Quite often an artist will string a semi permanent plumb-line from the ceiling or some other tall object. This is used as reference to all other angular lines on the subject.

Yes, Da Vinci talks about these concepts in his Treatises on Painting, as well. To enable an unskewed cone of vision you want to be about 3x the "entire width of the reference and your drawing combined". So if your source image + your drawing is 12" wide in the largest direction, eyes will need to be about 36" away (basically, arms length away). This is why the sketchbook is the foundation for all drawing; you can see the gestalt all at once on a small page. For a larger figure drawing of a 6 foot tall person you need to be about 18 feet away from the model. Basically you want to see the entire image and your drawing surface in a single glance without have to move your head or neck.

I like this content! However, the thumbnail was a bit misleading, a picture of the ear would have suited better, as you focus on drawing the ear in this particular vid. New follower here nonetheless!
