Renaissance artists used special rules called the Golden Ratio, like a secret recipe for making faces look just right. Imagine if your face was a pizza, they figured out how to cut it into perfect slices so it looks beautiful from any angle. They also studied real people, drawing their faces over and over until they got it right.
Examples
- A painter divides a person’s face into three equal parts for eyes placement
- Using lines on paper like a map to guide where to draw features
- Drawing eyes so they look just right from all angles
