the right size for things?

[cometsan]

It occursto me i dont know how to draw objects at the right size on a certain position relative to each other ???

So to make a coherent drawing like this?


Foreshortening correctly
According to the position?

[cometsan]

yeah so...how do you even learn by doing??? lel

[cometsan]

trying to get the correct foreshortening that fits the silhouette

how's the uh, correct method???


and also killing this feelings for someone who you think you can relate strongly but lel

If you draw it, and it's too big or too small, then you redraw it. You learn with practice how big to draw things the right size in proportion.
Take a photo of yourself to see how foreshortening works.

[cometsan]

Ah suppperrrr-san

My lifesaver
My heart aches everytime the foreshortening fails or i cant guess the right sizes for the right position...
Basically *censored* drawing

How do you tackle this issue from photos?

Pls no redraw...just the precise sizes for right angle..
Like those amazing hands...


I have taken photo on foreshortening but...
Theres still so much guess work...
And theyre not precise

Kind like those two hands in my picture
If i draw the front ones first... the violin may end up too long
Or if i draw the back ones first...

And also the worst ones r the stacking foreshortening

Where it is uber short and stuff
Like fingers facing camera etc.

Im not used to it.

[cometsan]

Logically thered be like millions of poses and types of images

Each images are separated to small parts or "bars"
And these small bars are arranged and sized to show the good pose and imagery....

[cometsan]

While erasing is indeed an option

Getting the right size would save some time in the long run

Also making alot of problem goes




And it seems like if you keep imagining good things that may happen
Those things may actually not happen because its too good to be true

Lel

I should just sticc to youtube or something

Theres so much to think of to make the drawing perfect
Like...is it the violin first because it defines the pose or is it the hands first because theyre the end to end size of the character/object...

I mean i just want the drawing to work... get the right silhouette
Is it so hardddd? It's not driving a rocket or something lol...
Even though theres alot of cars here now and then and lol

What do i do...

Defining shapes?
Arm size? Object size?
Focus length? Direction? Lol

About this and that much

[cometsan]

Or really just...
Be a regular.
Regular customer... regular activity...
Whats regular again?

Thinking is my regular i guess.

Pardon i eat just paper and abit of rice and my ego.

[cometsan]

I have gundams with open hands so...

No actually its kinda sad i have to spend so much to make foreshortening drawing? The smartphone is even more expensive than my psone this is ridiculous???!!!

I didnt go to art school to get me to buy more stuff and feel horrible about myself doh!!!!

[cometsan]

Actually i have blue tack at least but fu


How is this

Spare me omfg

Comestan, please refrain from spam posting. This is also the wrong section for the topic.

Finally, I think it's just better to draw to be honest. You have a lot of good questions, but without actually putting pencil to paper it's hard to know where you stand or to even give advice

[cometsan]

oh this is also a spam, sary sary

the reply here is so fast i decided to hyperspace jump to catch up with u guys...

where do i stand, idk... i think can make something as close as this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVh-JVBTxK8

sort of.

i think i can render object by object alr, but when it comes to make the right proportion as a whole my brain explod

and then there's the ugly stubbing fingers in foreshorten

that makes me uber angry and unworkable, generally NSFW
it's just a finger so...there should be nice solution??????????

uwu

[cometsan]

ok i understood

ive found it that u know, from original size, you times the percentage or something of the view, and the
size of the image cant be more from the original size,,, obviously.. except when the lens is fish eye or something....

i feel like all the boxes i draw will *censored* up no matter what.

i think coloring would even be more simpler because it's, smaller in space or something...
the proportion is like...blech

stubby hands, stubby toes, stubby motorcycle gears, stubby steer, stubby things... hellp
