WHAT IS THIS SCHIZOPHRENIC HIEROGLYPHIC? I need an explanation, OP.

Well, considering you are aware of your drawing being inaccurate, we can write off your eyes and observational skills. Seems to me that it's just poor motor muscle coordination. Just keep attempting to refine and you'll get it eventually.However, that is pretty funny that it's always slightly shorter and wider. If you ever give up on observational drawing, consider a career in caricatures. Lol.

I guess it's just a mental hangup. I almost always seem to draw chins too long, even though I know I tend to do it, and consciously think "draw it shorter," I still wind up drawing it too long. Some hangups you can probably train yourself out of, but I unironically think that some are so deeply rooted that trying to fix them is like trying to logic your way out of schizophrenia.

It feels natural to make solely vertical comparisons: x is one third of the distance between y and z. And natural to make solely horizontal estimations, too: x is half as wide as y. It's harder to compare elements in both directions. A square may be easy enough, but beyond that it can be tricky. This leads to faces or other drawings that are stretched in one direction or another but otherwise seem carefully done.Get in the habit of visualizing slopes and diagonals, and use them to keep your horizontal elements proportional to the vertical-- this line passes through the right shoulder and the left elbow. Somehow, judging the tilt of a diagonal is easier (for me) than seeing that a rectangle is two and a half times as high as wide. Trickier still when the proportions are unusual.Here endeth my bullshit for today.

im starting to think you need a high iq for being able to measure efficiently desu im so slow and i didnt realize i totally messed up a shape until i came back to it.

You’re moving your arm between the horizontal and the vertical, you dumb nigger, that’s not a digital technique, you need to stay at a fixed distance with your arm fully extended to avoid distorting the measurement

This is why I bit the bullet and got used to a drawing tablet without a screen

You're closing one eye when you sightsize, right??
