Description
Train your eye for proportion and angles with this interactive exercise. Your goal is to replicate the generated complex polygon on the drawing canvas as accurately as possible, paying close attention to the length of each side and the angles between them.
Steps (steps)
- Observe the polygon in the Reference area on the left (or top on mobile).
- Use your mouse or finger to draw the same shape in the Draw Here area.
- Try to match the size, position, and internal angles of the polygon.
- Click the Compare button (overlapping squares) to overlay the reference shapes on your drawing.
- See where you were off, click Clear (trash icon) to try again, or Randomize (dice) for a new challenge.

Tips
- Focus on the negative space between shapes to help with positioning.
- Look at the angles of the edges relative to the vertical and horizontal axes of the canvas.
- Start by marking the center or corners of each shape before drawing the full outlines.
- Don't worry about perfect lines; the goal is to improve your spatial accuracy.
---coda This exercise is designed to be repeated often. Short, focused sessions of proportion practice are more effective than infrequent long ones.
