Proportions out of whack

[veryari]

I keep seeing Monique clearly in her form but the size of her head in comparison to her body is not accurate. Its never the same size either, it is always varying from size to size. How can i narrow down my visualization skills to be able to see her in a more proportionate way?

I know that reference images can help with this. But beyond just practising, I don't know what else.

Yep, you've gotta pick what size you want the head to be, and then just practice to reinforce that.

 

When you visualize her with a differently sized head, consciously take a step back and imagine what she should look like with the normal sized head. She might not snap back right away, but if you keep reminding yourself what her form should be, it should eventually stick.

 

That said, do you know whether this is something she's doing on purpose? If so, let her experiment. She'll probably land back on a proportion you like eventually. If it's not something either of you are controlling and it's something neither of you want, you've just gotta keep reinforcing what she should look like in your mind.

 

Like Tulpa001 said, though, a visual aid can help. Do you draw? Our system finds drawing helps reinforce what our forms look like, but I know that's not for everyone.

Ok, i get it, if i keep consciously aiming for a proportionate head size it will work. I dont think this is her doing it. Usually when she changes things like her hair or eyes i can really tell it is her making the change on her own. This feels like i am unable to focus on the specifc proportions. I have also tried visualizing her at a distance but i find that this leads to her wanting more closeness.

 

I am a very good artist, i think drawing her will definitely help me out. Good idea.

If you can draw, drawing is a very good visualization exercise. The act of drawing something - recreating an image from one in your mind - forces you to become familiar with the details you want. Similar thing to dream recall, the fact that you're focusing on doing it improves the 'mental muscles' involved automatically.

 

I get the feeling, for people who can't draw, it may be even more helpful. The disparity between what you create and what you want might end up better practice than if it came easily. But of course, a lot of people who can't draw don't want to. Oh well.
