LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
Watch Patrick take on an 8-minute timed drawing challenge to place multiple figures in perspective. You will learn how to use the hanging on the horizon method. In this demo, Patrick uses the head at eye level as the base unit of measurement. Instead of relying on rigid grids, you will see how to use anatomical proportions to find where the feet should go. The lesson covers how to estimate heights for standing figures, people sitting on the ground, and even characters fighting on the ground. You will see how knowing basic body proportions lets you draw complex scenes fluidly and instinctively.

Drawing figures in perspective can be done without strict grids.
Hang the head on the horizon at eye level to set a base unit. Then use anatomical proportion to scale the body naturally. This builds your instinct and frees you from rigid measuring.
After your little theatre story at the end I remembered a different one:
Aeons ago in a movement class for aspiring actors as part of an audition week to get into drama school, there was this sturdy young man, not particularly talented in moving his body, who did something unbelievable.
When the students were asked to ‘be an egg’…..he concentrated only on that and….worked himself slowly into a pose in which he seemed to balance on just a thumb, index finger and a few toes….and he held it!
It was a kind of mind-over-matter happening in front of me. He must have totally forgotten the environment to get into that state of body control. He was an egg.
(Btw. many years later he played Victor Kugler in the TV series Anne Frank: The Whole story.)
Thanks for the demo and inspiration! Maybe that’s the goal; by drawing it, creating our own little theatre, movie scenes, sketches. 🤔 Then anything is possible!!
