You know, drawing is nothing but a long observation: we’re all capable of it… you have to “see”, and not only “look”…
I read a story somewhere about a “right brain” and a “left brain” that works pretty well … so when I’m stalling on shadows carried over under a nose, or under a chin, I apply what I read: I turn my subject upside down. And you wouldn’t believe how much it helps! You’re forced to “see” things differently because your perspective has changed, so you draw what you see with a different eye, and when you turn your drawing back into its right position, you’ll be amazed! Try it!!!

Yes, indeed, this is mentioned in Betty Edwards’ book, “Drawing on the right side of the brain”, that I discovered recently. It’ll drastically change your way of approaching drawing, and help you to rid yourself of your complexes! Anyone can draw (hold a pencil, create shapes…); the hardest part is the observation… With the drawing upside down technique, you’ll be perplexed at first, but you’ll find it really incredible!
