To determine which response does not relate to showing proportion in the image, we can analyze each option:

  1. Lining the corners of the mouth up with the center of the eyes. - This is a common proportional guideline in portrait drawing indicating the relationship between facial features.

  2. Lining up the sides of the nose with the inside corners of the eyes. - This guideline is also commonly used in art to depict proportion accurately.

  3. Lining up the bottom of the mouth with the tops of the ears. - Generally, the bottom of the mouth is not aligned with the tops of the ears in standard proportional guidelines for the human face. This may not adhere to typical proportions.

  4. Lining up the inside edge of the eyebrows with the inside corner of the eyes. - This is another standard proportional relationship in portraiture.

Based on this analysis, the response that does not show proportion in this image is:
