Don’t stress out yourself too much, take them easy

First

Try to get used to proportional measurement, in relation to the proportion, like if an eye length, size as unit is suitable for you to measure other things, then use it

Also observe the negative space, let’s imagine you have a circle, and you use negative space (as if using vertical and horizontal line to build up a box, and cage the circle,
you will see four triangle-liked shapes appear in the corner, that’s how you utilise negative space

of course that’s just a tiny bit usage for negative space)

And the other thing is comparative measurement, let’s say(i.e.) when you observe the hand length, it might be very similar to leg’s length, then you can use it to approximate  the length of other bodyparts.)

Hope the above make sense

I spent lots of time and it’s just a matter of time to get used to measuring

it’s not limited to actual person in life, when you look at the paper image, it’s also similar method to observe and measure.

This thread seems pretty dead, but if anyone’s up for reviving it I’m game. Would be great to have a group to discuss each others work, share resources etc.

Hey Koen, same here! There is a great community on the NMA discord that I just discovered, here is the link if you are still interested ( apparently it expires in 7 days, message me if you need it again) https://discord.gg/g8e2KMVY
