Hi Jake: Glad that your headache is better!!!! A drawing experiment that I want to take part in is to do a portrait of someone with the reference photo upside down! It is said that doing it this way will make the portrait more lifelike and accurate. The reasoning is that if we are doing something familar we often do not see the entire picture, which makes sense. Rather like walking the same way to work or the store. The first time, one sees many things. But over time, we miss a lot. Anyone else want to try it?
