# About me
My name is Karolina. I live in a small town in Poland. Widely understood art was always present in my life. I draw, paint and photograph because of my spiritual needs. I'm searching, discovering, creating and transforming reality to make it "my own”. I try to change my ordinary surroundings into something extraordinary and this is consistent with my approach to life. I'm always seeking new ways of artistic expression, and I think there is still a lot to discover...# Comments

Hello...
A new group has started its journey in DeviantArt ... The group is called Traditional-Masters and is a group for traditional artists who want to publicize their works and know the works of other traditional artists ..
At the moment we are very few because it has just opened the group, but without a doubt we will grow and we will form a great community ... It would be an honor to have your presence in the group ... If you are interested, please sign up and you will be welcome...
Regards ...
Traditional-Masters

Amazing work Karolina Would you happen to have any tips with drawing accurate proportions?

Sorry for such a late response. I actually didn't know what could I tell you that would be original enough and unfortunately, I still lack any interesting conclusions in this matter.
One thing that I can tell you, which is inconsistant with every lesson about drawing in accurate proportions that I had, is that it's definately easier to achieve it while drawing from photographs... It's just easier to notice the differences between objects when they're two-dimensional and not three-dimensional.
When I was starting to learn how to draw, I always carried a camera with me, and when I had problems with the proportions, I made a photograph of the subject I wanted to draw to help myself - one look on it usually helped me to start a sketch properly.

Yeah, okay Thank you. Do you go much trouble into figuring out math? Or do you do it all by sight and visual judgement?

Visual judgement but simple mathemathical rules like "something is X-times higher/bigger/smaller/anything else that Y" usually help.
