How do you effectively memorize the head-based proportions in figure trawling?I always get tripped up here. It's like "the average human is about 8 heads tall" then you have to memorize all these fractional proportions like a hand being 2/3 head length, the pelvis being 1/4 head lengths below the hips or whatever. How am I supposed to remember all this fractional shit? And doesn't all this shit get thrown out the window anyway depending on the view angle?

>>7913368>remake your thread with your art and not a shit ass frogNothing wrong with pepe, sperg.>how the fuck are we supposed to help you, dipshit?Being able to understand basic English would be a good start. Does your autism inhibit you from learning?
>>7913365you don't need to memorize anything to begin withyou can keep a reference in view while you drawthen you can draw it again and againeventually you will not need the referencestop creating stupid problems and just draw
>>7913373>Does your autism inhibit you from learning?That's odd, I'm not holding up a mirror.
>>7913374Will Weston said the most important first step in learning to draw people/the figure is first memorizing the height and width proportions using heads and head fractions.
>>7913381well he's wrong and that's why he's a permabeg teacher peddling overpriced courses and no finished work on his instagram but "student work" shoutouts
>>7913365i saw someone say she decided length of legs (excluding feet) is about the size of the human torso + head and her bodies looked pretty cool. maybe try that following this thread btw because i don’t really get heads either
>>7913365>How do you effectively memorize the head-based proportions in figure trawling?You write it down anywhere where you easily can look back at it, a small notebook, whatever.Then you draw and if you are not sure about anything, you back to your notes to remember how it's supposed to be. You have to draw again and again, until it finally clicks and you internalized the proportions.
Back then I mostly just went with my guts and feeling when I drew. You don't have to memorize the exact proportions to realize when something looks off. It`s definitely beneficial but I would say being able to listen to your intuition is more important than having knowledge when drawing. Intuition is very important in art. It just tells you when something looks off.
>>7913365Get a copy of Cognitive Drawing by Brubaker.Here's what you need to remember:>wingspan = height>crotch = midpoint of the body>shoulders = two heads wide>head to crotch = four heads>bottom part of the knees = midpoint of the crotch and heels>eyes = midpoint of the head
