This exercise is from the Betty Edwards classic, 'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain'. Her theory is that we need to tap into the R-mode of the brain - the visual, perceptual part of the brain, rather than your L-mode, postulated to be your sequential processing mode. To find out more about her and her principles of drawing here is a link to her Wikipedia page.
So, on with this week's task: Do an upside-down drawing:
I am challenging us to use a different picture though, as I think the one she suggests is quite boring, and I don't like the fact it's already been re-drawn. So this is the one I have chosen for us to use!
And I think if we wanted to, we could use any medium, or even do it in Photoshop! The only rule being that you have to work on it entirely upside down, and only look at it the right way up when you post it. At the end of the week we should post the images both the right way up, and upside down next to each other!
Good luck!
