Description

This is a work in progress that I've had on my disk for about a month already. There are probably a lot more things to add to this. I also have exteriors planned.

I find that one of the most unexpectedly complicated things about drawing settings (or placing characters properly in settings) is getting the proportions right.

I mean, getting used to dividing things into halves and thirds is one thing, and probably the easier task. Having a store of knowledge about a human being's size relative to most objects is something more alien to people who don't regularly draw from life, even if they hang around most of these objects most of their day. So I thought this might be useful.

These measurements really come in handy when you're trying out structured perspective for the first time.

(I'm also growing tired of drawing boring old front-view stuff so I've sort of been playing around with seriously planned out perspective drawings lately. Nothing to show for it right now though.)

More importantly:

----------------------------------------

What things of relatively constant height (or width) do you think I should add?



Here are some things I already have in mind:
:bulletblack: toilet
:bulletblack: kitchen sink, bathroom sink
:bulletblack: banisters and railings

Also, let me know if you have alternate measurements.

this is neat... Actually, it kind'a reminds me of when I made a to-scale diagram of my bedroom so I could move furniture around without all the guessing and lifting. :P
(wonders if you're still looking for ideas, as it looks like this is several years old...)(also wonders why I remember seeing this just recently somewhere, as I can't remember where)
