Squashed drawings

Well, moving along into the next chapter, the book asks for us to draw Pablo Picasso's 'Portrait of Igor Stravinsky' upside down. Not labelling what we see and limiting ourselves, but rather seeing lines and shapes, in the hope that the Right side of the brain takes control over the Left, allowing for more creativity.

The result was not bad, but not right either. It started fine, but somewhere along the way I made parts bigger, making other areas squashed. Parts of it, like other students drawings mentioned in the book, were great. The cross over of the legs for example came out well I think. The head though, well what can I say, it looks as if Igor hasn't eaten in months! I believe I drew in the wrong order, and having re-read the instructions If I had drawn line, adjacent line, and so on, it would have turned out less squashed.
