Upside Down Drawing

47 minutes till my Animation Mentor class and I'm uploading more excercises from Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.

The excercise is to redraw a Picasso image (original shown here) which is upside down without turning the image and without turning one's own drawing. I repeated the excercise two times.

On the second I thought I was getting somewhere until I got to the face and head and then I lost my train of thought. I'm pretty impressed that the arms of the chair are in perspective and that it actually looks like he's crossing his legs. Things get al little funky around the shoulders, but it might be because I was lying on the bed when I was drawing and wasn't really in the best position for drawing that far down on the paper.

I can't really say that I felt anything different than I regularly do when drawing except that it was a frustrating excercise and I felt worried about the details. I felt I had to check and recheck the angles of lines from one to the other and it was driving me crazy. It paid off where I didnìt get too lazy and the areas where I got lazy really show.
