The Mona Lisa

Leonardo Da Vinci

• Leonardo once wrote, “Know the proportions in human beings and other animals and learn the forms of all things on the earth. The more you know, the better you will paint.”

Leo’s Notebook

• Leonardo was constantly taking notes about the world around him. He filled many notebooks with sketches of animals, people, and nature.

• He took many measurements and was always trying to find a perfect balance so that his art had proportion.

Face Mapping

• Face Mapping is a technique used to set up the proportion of the features on a face.

• By drawing lines that act as guides, you can figure out where parts go and how large they should be.

• This will help make your face look more realistic.
