Ever stare at your drawing and know something’s off—but can’t figure out what? Try turning your drawing upside down!
This simple trick helps shift your brain out of “I know what this is supposed to look like” mode and into really seeing the lines, shapes, and angles.
1 Great for improving accuracy
2 Helps with tricky proportions
3 Builds confidence
Sometimes, a new perspective is all you need 😉
By focusing on the visual elements instead of what your brain thinks a face or hand should look like, you’ll spot proportion or placement issues much faster. It’s a favorite tool in our classes when students are learning to draw what they see—not what they think they see.
