How to learn classical canons of proportions
Classical canons of a head and face proportions are great guides when it comes to drawing portraits from life, memory and imagination. This is because with such a canon, you will know what to measure from life and apply in drawing or how to "build" a portrait from imagination. Also, if you check how your model deviates from a classical canon, it will be easier to remember such discrepancies and later draw a realistic and recognizable portrait from memory. There is one easy way to learn classical canons of proportions. In the Life Drawing Academy Online Course, I presented the in-depth information on three canons, which you can study in the easy-to-follow video lessons. Also, in this course, you will get a lifetime membership and our personal support that is provided at no extra cost for as long as you need it. This support includes your artworks critique and answers to your art questions.
