Artist's Comments
Anas is my elder brother, but the picture was taken when he was younger. Of course.
 First ever pencil portrait, EVER. For class. It's the thing I talked about in my journal entry: [link] . So the 'left brain' drawing was done with the reference pic turned upside-down, and the 'right brain' one was done normally, with the same reference. The results are pretty interesting, it proved the point.  Though neither of them look 100% like the picture (and it annoys me now 'cause I notice all the things that look different), the left one totally has more likeness. I got an A- for this, I think. (OMG our lecturer grades our work. That's scary.) I find it really shocking how the 'right brain' drawing can look so far off from the real thing, or from the other drawing.  |

I can whistle. So watch your ears.
I just find it very facsinating too that when we turn the pics upside down and draw it, that the logical left side of the brain "shuts up" and then we can draw without the "you can't do this or that" or "this is supposed to look like such and such" thoughts.
I've read about this in a book by Betty Edwards. I've used the upside down trick on my husband too. It worked, he drew an excellent picture but he still insists he's not an artist
Years ago, when I took art lessons, the teacher had me turn my work upside down to find my mistakes. That was one of the best things she taught me.
Great pic btw!

And yup, the exercise was taken from Edward's book. I just think that the term "artist" means so much more than drawing upside down pictures accurately, right?
