Abstract: The article presents suggestions for more accurate measurement of some figure drawing variables. Suggestions are offered to increase the precision and reliability of scoring certain traditional drawing variables. If drawings done along different axes are to be compared for location, they may be more accurately scored using a procedure. Vertical imbalance may easily be scored with an inexpensive protractor. The score might be the angle the center of the figure makes with the bottom edge of the paper. The angle can be read from the protractor in degrees.
