Does'nt this contradict your head drawing lessons? I've been loving this for figure drawing but it seems completely broken drawing head proportions, in them lessons you say the nose is level with 1/3 up from the bottom of the circle, yet here you show it's level with it and that the cranium itself makes a perfect circle which it does'nt in your head drawing lessons.

So why is the nose at the bottom of the cranial circle at 02: 56? When you showed face proportions the nose base was higher? the mouth would roughly be at the bottom of that circle. How come everything has moved lower now? I'm confused. . or maybe it's because now we're putting this circle inside the head shape. which was derived from a bigger circle. is that is?

One problem with this method is that most most model's craniums are covered by hair so the size would have to be guessed. Also, because it is a smaller unit, the chance for error is magnified.
I'm not saying that this is a bad method, but that it has its cons as well.

Thanks for this video! A figure drawing class I was in at school used this method and I've used it ever since! I personally never liked the head-measurement system of proportions but Hale's five-eyed-cube/cranial units really worked for me: )

I liked this method better than any other, like Andrew Loomis's, Paul Richer's, Burne Hogarth's. They are pretty much all I know. Using 2 squares to measure the torso from the front is by far the easiest way to start a figure drawing for me.

Hey, I've invented a new revolutionary and very handy proportions method. Curious? Look up my handle on DeviantArt if you have a chance and let me know what you think. if you want to. I'm not spamming, really.

weird question but how do I even practice this? Do I need to draw an actual human body then draw the boxes over it? But how can I do that without actually knowing the proportions of the human body?

Been a while since I've rewatched this lesson. I've now seen the actual Hale lecture series and I've gotta say the reading of the quote at the end is a damn good impression of the man.

Great video, Never Heard of the Hale method before BUT makes perfect sense! You learn something new every day and today is the Hayes measurement method: ) Thanks team Proko!
