Name drawing technique
4yr
Sandra Süsser
hi guys, just a simple question. Hope this doesn’t sound stupid, but I am curious. when we copy a drawing from a template with the same scale it’s called sight sized drawing. How is the process / the technique called when we change the scale of the drawing in regards to the template? I’d call it scaled drawing or proportional drawing, but I wondered whether there is an official name for it as well.

I typically use terms sight size method or comparative measurement method as two distinctly different approaches when drawing from life. This discussion of comparative measurement vs sight size may be helpful from James Gurney blog http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/2018/02/sight-size-or-comparative-measurements.html
