My Picasso

The next exercise in Drawing is to copy a sketch, upside down (both the sketch and your copy). The example given is this Picasso:




I've got an hour. 40 minutes at least. I do it in 20.



This is a mistake. I've not done the exercise correctly, and rushed through it. I didn't spend the time to accurately copy the picture; I just wung it and it shows. It's a mess!

A little while later I sit down and do it again. This version took 1:20, and I'm happy enough with it.



Some of my relationships aren't right. I could've used a bigger piece of paper (or started smaller). I ran out of room, and thus he's a pinhead, scalped! Any spatial problems I created were resolved in the hands and the left leg, which were completed last. These two areas are a bit off. MUCH better the second time around!
