I've been struggling with proportions and sketching small like this has been a huge help in rethinking my approach. I have begun drawing again after about a decade away and I went right into it with frustrating results. My proportions were always off, eyes too far from the nose, chins stretched or smoothed and head width constantly fluctuating, no matter how many times I tried to measure and sight it always got away from me. Sketching in this small format has been a great help! Thank you!
LESSON NOTES
Award-winning artist Mikhail Solovev shows you how to create a compositional sketch in the Russian academic style. These sketches are a key part of the Russian academic process, and begin by focusing on the silhouette to get a good idea of the compositional elements of light and shadow in your piece.

![Mikhail Solovev]()
Compositional sketches are the key to planning out a piece! Let's discuss how to do them yourself.
this is so different from the Loomis stuff I have been working with (not much success there) and seems more in line with what I 'see' . Using 'points' to map out proportions and then creating an outline seems to be the way to go for me
