Changing HOW you look at things
Shoes and self-portrait
Elevate shoe to eye level
Various Angles of things Foreshortening
Turn to a ¾ view while looking in the mirror
Sharpie, small white paper…
Don’t take pen off paper and draw the contours with a continuous line
 Work very slowly if your eye gets ahead of your hand stop and look where you are and resume
Don’t do any coloring with the marker use only line
Remember not to THINK about anything… don’t go back to using symbols
