Himesha

• Measuring proportions makes it easier to get the height or length or width of some object when drawing exactly.
• Though it is hard measuring the proportion in some objects in the field, comparatively it's easy with most.
• It gives you an idea of how you should draw the subject.

Contour drawing is fun but actually it's a little hard because I get pretty tempted to see my paper and where my hand is. Even though it's hilarious at the end, it helped me to keep my focus on the subject and I noticed tiny details on the outline of it as well. 

• When you draw, you pay attention to all the details in the photo, even the tiny ones. But when just looking at a photo, you don't notice those tiny details.
• Drawing this photo was very interesting. I'm a little bit sad, because I don't know how to paint properly. Hoping to learn it here.
• Drawing the bird was easy but getting it's beak right was challenging. Still couldn't get it right.
• Yes, there is a lot that I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't draw this. I wouldn't have noticed how it's feathers are placed, how it's legs are placed and how the branches are.
• This would help me to notice more details when nature journaling.
