    • Hello Chris,
      It’s just a simple tips commonly used that display a standard human as a scaling reference.
      Imagine you draw the human so much bigger than the creature. That creature may look like small like a ant ! So tiny that it won’t be that impressive anymore. 🙂
      Transport designer, or concept art artist often draw a people beside (or inside) the vehicle to show the scaling for example.
