Comparing the size and placement of objects to one another in a composition in order to proportionally draw them as they
actually appear
Relationship
FirstHold up your view finder and fill the space with
the objects by moving the view finder forward or backward from your eye. Some of the objects
and/or cloth will run out of the frame.
SecondPick the cone or cube that is closest to you,
sitting on the table and most visible. It should also have a clear defined smaller
unit, such as, the height of the cube or the base of the cone, that can be used as the
unit of measure to compare everything else to.Third
Use your pencil to project lines horizontally and vertically to the view finder border from
the outer edges of the object. Mark the points on the view finder with your pencil.
Determine what part of the object you will use as your
standard unit of measure and then compare everything else
to it. Not only the size relationships, but also the
distances of the objects apart.
Measure and compare sizes and distances with a standard length. Pick a short unit of measure on a object on the table
and closest to you.
Relationship Hints
The wide length of the cube is 2 times the width of the short end.
The Cube
The short end of the cube is 2 times the height.
The Cone
The width of the bottom of the cone is 2 times the height of the cube.
The height of the cone is 2 1/2 times the width of the bottom of the cone.
The bottom width of the cone is 4 times wider than the flat top of the cone.
The Sphere
The diameter of the sphere is 3 times the height of the cube.It is also 1 1/2 times the width of the bottom of the cone.
