Comparative Measuring (part I)

In this lesson I am using my pencil as a measuring tool to construct a vase. The main difference between the sight-size method and comparative measuring, is that, with comparative measuring, the objects can be drawn in a different scale than they appear. This, to me is a bit more practical, as one can adjust the size of the drawing to fit the format of their paper. I have used both methods, (videos of my sight-size technique can be found on my channel) and both present their own unique challenges and advantages.
