Can any administrator provide clarity on when brent was measuring to determine how far down to draw the lid of the French press, he takes the measurement of the lid and compares it to the halfway mark of the press, however, the measurement of the lid doesn't go to the halfway point, however, brent somehow determines, how far down to draw the lid, based off the measurement from one end of the press to the halfway mark, can someone explain, how the measurement from one end of the press to the center of the press informs brent how far down to draw the press?
LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
If your drawings feel inaccurate, it's often a proportion issue. This lesson teaches you the essential skill of measuring. I'll show you how to use your pencil to find the exact proportions of any subject and transfer them to your drawing. You'll learn to establish a correct width-to-height ratio, use a centerline for symmetry, and create a proportional box to guide you. I demonstrate this entire process by drawing a French press, step-by-step. Mastering this will help you avoid common errors and make your drawings significantly more accurate.

This mug was deceptively challenging. The mug itself is symmetrical, but the spherical curving and the cinched area about 1/3 of the way down created multiple places at which I had to determine the ratio of width to height. Add in the asymmetrical handle to the voluptuous nature of the mug and more ratios needed to be estimated. So glad I did not have to include the texture of the mug! I think it looks pretty accurate, however.

just realise I had the proportion wrong when edit these picture. Will move on to the following lesson in Chapter 1 first, then spend sometime to revise back.
