Ever wondered what that peering-at-a-pencil thing is about? While it might look like an arcane ritual or secret hand signal, in fact it is a simple and effective method of measuring your model. To use the technique for other subjects just choose a suitable object as your 'baseline' measurement (in life drawing, you use the figure's head.)
Find out how to: Measure up the model, Judge Angles in a pose, and draw the structure of objects.
