I'm getting how to find the proportions of a side by side drawing. I found the Glasses very helpful, I'm still not clear on translating the size of things that are farther away onto the paper and how to make those things bigger or smaller than they actually are. Is that more about perspective? Sorry, I am an absolute newbie to drawing. I've learned most of what I know from youtube and have no formal art training. Thanks!

If you want to control the size of your drawing and make it bigger or smaller than what you are seeing, you still use these techniques. But instead of trying to directly use the same measurement on your paper as you see in life, you will scale it accordingly. For example say the one on the left is life and the one on the right is the size you want to draw. I've marked the center line of both in green. From there, divide the top half into 3rds to find about where the chin falls. See how it doesn't matter that they are different sizes? The center of the drawing is still the same on both figures as is the 1/3 of the top half. You will still go through and measure things out. But now you will have to think proportionally and in percentages. I hope that makes sense.
