Q. What did you think when you saw the week's task?
A. I was into it! I love copying other art and photographs.
Q. How do you feel about your results?
A. Pretty good - I set a 40-minute timer and drew with pencil on paper the whole time. The process was the point more than the result, but I don't think my drawing (when turned round) is toooo far off - apart from the faces, which are horrorshows!
Q. What was the part of the challenge you enjoyed least?
A. I got bored in the middle, and kept letting my concentration slip.
Q. And the most?
A. I could feel the "R-mode" of my brain working at times during this drawing (not sure what this is - the right hand side of my brain??) I totally saw the point of the exercise - and could feel the difference, as the author describes here:
I also agree that the state was easily broken, as I slipped in and out of it. But in the concentrated moments, I could see the photograph as a collection of lines and shapes, and could tune out the figures that I knew them to be.

Q. Did you learn anything?
A. That I should probably do this more!
Q. Any final thoughts?
A. Thanks Els, I thought this was really interesting!
My drawing as it I made it and as it looked to me!
Turned around - faces which will haunt my nightmares.
