Proportions - Fundamental Visual Landmarks - Teach Yourself to Draw - Drawing Techniques

In this second episode of "Teach Yourself to Draw", we will cover the fundamental elements of proportions. Proportions are the foundation of any realistic drawing, but they're also the most difficult challenge in a beginners or self-taught artist's journey.
In this episode, I try to share techniques an autodidact artist can put to use in a regular practice. Hope it helps !

About me (bio) :

I am an artist living and working in France. I learned the techniques of the Atelier of the Nineteenth century and now I try to share some of my knowledge with the rest of the world, because I think that beauty still has an important role to play in artistic creation. I do mostly drawing and oil painting, and my goal is always to provide techniques and explanations that can be useful to anyone, from beginners to more advanced artists.
