So I'm a little confused as to what is and isn't allowed when it comes to using measuring tools when drawing digitally.
In the course, Marc says to use the technique where you hold out your pen and use your thumb to measure if your referance is live in front of you. But he says that if you're on digital, you could do something along the lines of placing your pen on your screen, and measuring that way.
I'm wondering if it's okay or not to do something like just drawing straight lines horizontally, from a few points on on your referance image as a guide for drawing. This way you'd obviously know the exact heights of certain points on the drawing.
It's just kind of unclear to me from the video as to what's an "allowed" method of measuring.
I don't wanna use the straight lines digitally if it's cheating somehow, you know?
I feel like whether i literally drawing straight lines across from the referance, or if I measure it using my pen on the screen, they both have the same effect. So is there more to it than just simply measuring that I'd be missing out on if I used the straight line method?
