Question

5. What is Proportion? Why do you think it is important when drawing?

Answer 1

Proportion refers to the relationship between parts of a whole and their relation to a whole.

I think proportion is important when drawing because if you don’t proportion out your work, the work is going to look to cluttered and imbalanced.


Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Proportion is largely about the relationship of the size of one element when compared to another. When drawing or painting realistically, proportion is important. If the proportions are incorrect, then the resulting image will look less realistic or abstracted. Alternatively, artists can use proportion for effect.
