Joseph's shiny new sketchbook

I am not sure exactly what the intention here is.But you talk about something which seem to refer to accuracy so here some thing that might be useful to use to achieve that. Of course over time you get better at visualize but here it shown for explanation purpose.

First of you frame the subject lenght and weight inside a rectangle. You then find the mid point by drawing diagonal from the corner of that rectangle.You now have 4 rectangular quadran split with two triangle inside each of those it a good practice to think about them in term of A,B,C,D this make internal dialogue easier. For example here we could say that most of the figure sit inside the A,C quadran so from that information alone we know that we should start in the A,C quadran because most of the space were subject occupy is there.

Marking the center is useful in all case as it is the furthest point from the frame in all the drawing you will ever do which make drawing what inside the silhouette much easier and accurate.

Feet are the grounding point which can make or break the feeling of object being in a correct perspective so they are important to get right and they help establish where the vanish point are.

When trying to construct the outline for a complex study it doesn't kill to just lightly sketch the frame and other guideline and if you absolutely don't want to have to erase you can use this trick which is to construct a frame using masking tape which serve as the frame.

To help speed up the drawing starting by the head help due to it generally being closest to the top of the frame. The closer object are to the frame the easier they are to accurately put in place rapidly and with assurance which is key to build speed and this mean whatever is furthest from the frame and mid point is the hardest to put accurately in place so having this in mind you can prioritize from easy to difficult since you can build much quicker accurate result once you have something to work from and measure against.

When you are dealing with long curve try to breaking them down into small chunk you can also go back and turn those segment into curve later on.Breaking down complex curve into 3 to 5 segment seem like a good idea.

Remember to use visualize negative space there are great to establish proportion i personally like to visualize triangle and and make them intersect some of my guideline.

For increase accuracy it useful to remember that you can alway subdivide quadran it even smaller quadran using the technique in the second paragraph.

I don't know if that useful or not you can always private message me if you want this remove.
