Legs and Heater
pastel
30.5 x 45.7 cm (12" x 18")


This model's legs looked too long to me while I was doing this drawing. I measured them several times while drawing, and each measurement suggested that they weren't too long. They still look long, but in this case I'm going with the measurements.

The best advice to artists regarding measurement is to trust your eye in the end. Draw what looks right. The problem is that your eye cannot always make up its own mind as to what looks right and what doesn't.
