✨✨✨Thanks and I liked your comment so much, I had to hit the heart reaction ♥️ 😊🙏✨✨✨

Wouldn't call it cheating. I'd call it being accurate. Appreciate the helpful tips you explained throughout your video.

Perfect timing for this video. Struggling with blowing up a portrait from a small photo and just not having any luck. Now I’ll draw out in scale on paper first then use that for canvas transfer . Thanks for tip

Just taken up drawing and painting again at 75, after a life of being a graphic designer and digital artist. Your tips Florent, are excellent, so much so I've subscribed! Thank you.

This, for sure, would be an awesome class as always! Thanks, Florent!

What a great way to lay out proportions, common intercepts between what you are trying to draw with what you are drawing. This idea never occurred to me yet it was right there for me to see and utilize. Great class! Thank you for this. I really enjoyed following your class and I actually learned something useful.

This is the method I’ve been using and I’ve been feeling like a cheater for it. Someone told me it wasn’t any better than tracing. 😅 thx for making me feel more valid

It's a great technique because it ultimately evolves into more spontaneous IRL drawing skills, which tracing doesn't provide.

I feel the same. I never use this, better do a print lol. But I trained myself to do whatever I want even if I look at small pieces. It’s possible. And now I’m not forced to have a reference photo the same size which can be problematic.

I've been away from the atelier (ARA Toronto) for years. Thank you for the welcome reminder. I will set-up a Bargue, a Hogarth or a Fechin as a model, and do a 'size-as' study. Excellent way to remove the "block"!

You improved a lot your english. Tu es un bon professeur. Merci de partager tes connaissances.

Thank you, you've got a great way of explaining things!

Thank you so much for sharing this. It has really improved my proportions!

Good advice, you make it look easy! Thank you 😊

Lot of great information and techniques, especially the positioning of physical models for sizing.

Bravo! Did you invent that? terrific!

That’s so cool to hear! I kind of developed this method intuitively in life drawing sessions and never actually called it a “method”. It’s so effective that feels like cheating! One big advantage is that it’s easy to fit the model in the paper. When I’m downscaling or upscaling with a short time constraint, I tend to make the model bigger than the drawing area. With this 1:1 method, it’s nearly impossible to mess the composition up.

That was a nice run-down on how the brain works when measuring at different scales, I had no idea. And as someone who's been making good use of grids for measuring, I know that being overly dependant on these rulers could turn into a crutch, so I try to keep that in mind.

Great video reminder, Florent!

Thanks so much for your generosity! I had an AHA moment.

I think fractional dividers are almost always a bad idea for enlargement. If you're measurement is off, even a fraction of a mm, the divider will enlarge that mistake just as much as it enlarges the image. Much better for reducing, but, just like you said, it's generally easy enough to just move the model farther away to reduce it.

@FlorentFargesarts

Ай бұрын

Same thing, never really liked prop dividers.

If you're doing a portrait do you mark with tape on the floor the position of your easel when it requires more than one sitting? If the model is seated do you sit as well or raise the model up?

Great video Florent, drawing is so overlooked these days...Side note, are your colour wheels still available anywhere?

Do one on measuring angles.

Such great advice, thank you! Plus, I'm obsessed with the colour of that pencil. How pretty ot is! What colour is it please? ❤❤❤

Conté and Faber Castel Sanguine pencils indeed. There are several shades, I have many!

I call this✨AIR TRACING✨ not cheating of course 😎 you try to retain the original image when looking at your own drawing

The most simplest answer is usually the best but often forgotten.

I don't think using a few items like the divider or the level you are speaking of is cheating to get the proportions correct. It is important to correct the proportions, which helps a sketch take shape [and] that improves the overall creation. Thank you for sharing. May Abba Father [God] bless you, your family, and your ministry. Especially in the days that we are living in.

Start at 8 minutes, that's when he does.

would it be appropriate to use the term "cheating" when describing the actions of bees, horses, and eagles in their natural behaviors. I marvel at the mysterious process of drawing and acknowledge; there are no strict rules in art, and yet pondering how one can create without follow some sort of imagined formula. Ultimately, I think that drawing transcends the concept of cheating.
