Yes, it would be recommended for a front,back,side, and a top view.
That's all you need for your refrence pictures.

I recommend you do go in proportion.

That's the hard part, which is why I don't use that methiod, of course I don't use the standard methiod for drawing either.

In JTEdit, with the background image tool you can arbitrarily scale and transform the background image af it it were part of the scene. You can also change the lighting (i.e. make it dimmer or brighter).

scale isn't the problem, it porportion. Can you draw side view that has everything is the same place horiontally as the front? I know the arms and the neck kill me.

yeah if your going to draw model templates/turnarounds then they must be in proportion with each other - a good way of doing this is once you make one side, find a ruler and draw lines from the main sections of interest.

for ships and top views and such you have to also do this again for both the side and front views... so that you can line up all the nessary parts right
they teach you basic technical drawing in Secondry School for Technology (or atleast they used to)

Yeah I took a computer aided drafting class in High school, but the computers didn't get there til 3 weeks from graduation. So what we did insted was drafting on paper, mostly draw a top, side, and front veiw of differant objects. It's easy when you're dealing with boxes and simple objects, but try it with a human and you'll have more horisantal line than you can count.

well you dont' line up every major detail when drawing people/organics ... you just do the major sections that MUST be lined up - suchas chin-eyes-top of the head, bottom of the ribcage, waste, crotch, knees, floor and thats all - a few light lines handles it quite well unless you want to do a top down view

but the best thing for humans/organics is to just do a side-front-back (hense the term turn-around ) you'd also often do another which is a perspective just to so you have a reference of how it should kinda look at an angle as well - as sometimes some details arn't best as precision but as a flow of the work
