About the Illustrator
How I Draw, with Brett Helquist
The illustrator shares some of his techniques.
 |
Every piece of art has a skeleton that starts with a few lines. |
 |
One way to determine if a person’s head is drawn too big or too small for their body is through proportions: For young people, the body is usually five heads high; adults’ bodies are generally seven heads high. |
 |
Illustrators often have to draw the same character over and over again with different expressions. With each small adjustment the character begins to come to life. |
