I'm glad that you're finding the posts helpful. Each Bargue plate is about 18" x 24" in its original size, so I scanned the first few plates at 300 dpi and then placed them in an Adobe InDesign document of that size. Then, I just printed half of each plate on 2 sheets of 11" x 17" (tabloid) paper, since it's a common size. I'm not really sure of an enlargement percentage, per se, since I was more concerned about matching a paper size. In order to protect my brain from damage, I try to let the software figure those things out for me... ;) All the best with your drawing, David. Thanks for the encouragement! - Dan Hi David,

I have the Bargue book and have been using it - after having taken classes like Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain which I love. How many times did you enlarge this plate to do your copy? Thank you. David Gregg I love the posts on your site. I have the Bargue book and have been using it – after having taken classes like Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain which I love.

Because I don't own the Bargue book, I've drawn abstract shapes to copy them. They don't look like the plates that you use but I think the method to copy a shape (plate in your world) is the same.

Very informative. I use a similar method to draw the shapes at my drawing course. This is a great post. Very informative. I use a similar method to draw the shapes at my drawing course.
