    I've watched this video a dozen times now and have it bookmarked. Similar techniques are used in videos by other artists, but your video is unbeatable at showing how it works. Studying this has helped me confidently take on sketches of public places, because adding a few people? No problem! And you demonstrate it in both ink and watercolor. I really appreciate this. You're awesome. Thank you so much for sharing.

    Interesting, how you have the figures lined up with your eye line. A similar method is used to orient multiple sails of boats on water against a background.

    @DressedForDrowning Před 7 lety

    Hi Alena, I know that some persons work with the socalled "eye level". But in reality it does not work so easy. Let's say, a person is 180 cm high. So this is HIS eye level. All other persons with 180 cm height have their heads at the same height. Smaller people are deeper, and taller people are higher. Best example: a mother with her child. They walk hand in hand, and the child's eye level is below the mother's eye level. So only people with the same height are on the eye level of the beholder (drawer).
