Question: do you make your reference photos a specific size to work with each time? Otherwise, how do you get the proportions correct just by drawing the c

It really helps to draw a lot of sculls btw 😅💀 so ppl say. I haven't done enough of it , i'll probably try to draw more ☠️ :))
🤔 I don't care about the size of the reference photos, i just need it to be clear enough to see the details. How to get the proportions correct: divide the head into 4 equal parts, eyes will be in the middle, the upper line indicates hairline, the lower line - tip of the nose (i'm sure u saw a scheme how to draw a portrait). If you want your drawing to look very similar to the reference..try to figure out the distance btw eyes, between nose and lips, etc just by looking at the reference and trying to copy the same proportions to your canvas. Try to analyse how much space is between particular parts of the face. The same goes for the body too. I hope this helps you, if not i'll try to explain more.
