Today’s images are drawing practices and exercises from the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards.

The first image is from a practice exercise where you draw an image upside down in order to practice drawing what you see, rather than the familiar shapes. This is the same exercise that you have seen me do earlier with Picasso’s Igor Stavinsky portrait.

After that are three drawings using a plastic viewing pane. Two are of my hands in a couple different positions, while the third is of my cat, Sophie.

The fifth drawing is a fleshed out drawing based on the fourth drawing.
