Term: Comparative Measurement

A method of drawing that requires proportional accuracy, but allows the artist to vary the size of the image created. This technique broadly encompasses any method of drawing that involves making accurate measurements using the naked eye. Artists may be aided by a pencil, brush or plumb line to make the comparisons, but there is no transfer of 1:1 measurements from the subject directly to paper.
