In reply to Ekta Shah. Are there clear plastic sheets with one inch lines on them that could be laid across photographs?

Hi Travis,

I haven’t tried it so I can’t really give you pros and cons. I have used a projector on a wall before and this worked great, but you have to look out for distortion.

Hey Matt! Great lesson. Have you tried to camera Lucinda for accurate proportions and to get started on a drawing? I’m curious about it as I’ve seen ads for them. Advantages/disadvantages for them? Completely different for getting proportions and lines right?

Hi Christine,

It does. The lesson with the dog is on powdered graphite and is lesson 16. You can find it here…https://thevirtualinstructor.com/members/the-guide-to-graphite-powdered-graphite/

Matt, I thought this course also included a study using a dog portrait. I can’t find it. It’s one of the main reasons I purchased the course and to get a review if the various areas discussed as I have had courses in all before. I’m most interested in a detailed study on dog portrait, particularly drawing the for. I’m pretty good with eyes, nose and mouth, but really struggling with fur. Thanks. I like your lesson style and teaching!
