    Good technique with the diagonal. Saves a lot of work

    Yes, I use a lot of these measurement methods in scaling up or down in my artwork. I do end up in the rabbit hole 🕳 sometimes. I mostly just measure the width and length of my photo and find the center point. Then I find the center point of my paper. After that I start on finding the the thirds of the photo both vertically and horizontally to transfer my photo. With the help from this video, I have tweaked my transferring of reference photos to a easier way of success. Thanks for sharing this with us and keeping art fun!

    You and I exchanged comments on facebook and I followed through and checked out your you tube channel etc. I've watched many since then. This was not an easy skill to apply but it helped and I'll keep trying. Thank you!.

    Tried the drawing and although it was a long process I believe it turned out just fine. I need practice and more practice. Love the tutorial and tutor. Thank you 🙏 so much.

    This is all excellent advice, but the best tool I've recently discovered is a proportional divider, and there are a few videos on how to make one.

    • @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber
      @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber  4 роки тому +6

      I have to say, although a proportional divider is in itself a great tool, my heart sinks when my students bring them in. Because they almost always use them wrongly. They either leave the screw too loose and the tool moves, or they start with paper or initial drawing that is the wrong proportions and then try to use the divider half way through, getting into even more trouble, and refusing to admit that they got anything wrong because the tool doesn't lie :-/

    I wonder if this would be easier to work out the proportions on a piece of tracing paper cut to the size of your watercolor paper mainly due to all the possible marks, mistakes/re-do’s while trying to get it all drawn in and mapped out correctly. Being a beginner I find myself erasing a lot sometimes so I’ve started to try and draw my stuff out on tracing paper first then I transfer it to the watercolor paper. Granted it’s another step but I’ve found that if I have erased too much on the watercolor paper (even with light sketch marks and I like to use one of those putty type erasers and either roll it across the watercolor paper to lighten my marks or mold the eraser into say a fine point to get into little areas) that it has effected how my paints act on parts of the paper. But I love this tutorial as I’ve never had anyone explain how to transfer from a photo to your work surface when you are enlarging for more accurate proportions thank you so much I’m really enjoying your channel

    • @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber
      @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber  4 роки тому

      Yes that's a good idea. It's something I frequently do with commercial illustration which has to be kept very clean.

    Michele, if you did your drawing on cartidge paper how would you transfer it to your watercolor paper?

  • @barbarabrowne5956
    @barbarabrowne5956 4 роки тому +1

    Would you use this method when doing a portrait. I seem to do endless measuring but in the end, I have a nice looking person but never the person I want it to look like☹️

    • @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber
      @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber  4 роки тому +3

      If you are looking for a specific likeness this is not accurate enough. I recommend my videos on using curved guidelines to draw faces, portrait artists often use the squares method too, or even trace.

    hard to do grids and center it

  • @Ruthie888
    @Ruthie888 3 роки тому

    It feels like for all that hassle and guesswork, it so much easier and timesaving for beginners to just make a light, erasable grid.

    • @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber
      @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber  3 роки тому +3

      Grids are fine but they don't exercise your drawing muscles quite as much. Because this method is less precise it will increase your natural drawing skills faster. Of course tracing is simplest for beginners, but if you don't try the hard stuff you don't learn to draw and this negatively affects your painting.
