So I was wandering around the city yesterday when this idea for the blog hit me. I bought a copy of "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" from a Goodwill for 2.99, a 7 dollar sketchpad and a handfull of pencils from the art shop. Then I went to the Jackalope pub/resturaunt on W. 6th ordered a Guiness and started reading. Through the first chapter Betty talks alot about training the eyes to a special way of seeing that the artist must cultivate, "a shift to the artists mode of seeing - that is, the right hemisphere mode." She then says to make some "pre-instuction drawings" to have as comparisons. This exercise comes from page 10 of the first chapter titled "Drawing and the Art of Bicycle Riding," it says....
"Draw a picture of a person without looking at anyone. There are no specific directions for this drawing , only the general direction to "draw a person."
