Sketching Tips II - Scaling and proportion

Scaling and proportion complement each other. When you see a sketch in a book or magazine, you have to be able to conceptualize and imagine what scale will be suitable to your sheet.

Every line in the sketch should have some calculated proportion, and maintaining that proportion is important. For example, you cannot show a building or object far away in same size as an object that is closer to you.

After the sketch is completed it is important that any text to be added is also in proportion with the drawing. You cannot have a huge drawing and a very small text or vice versa.

Scaling and proportion is probably the 1st ingredient for a good presentation.
