Picasso's thing where he referenced a photo upside down and drew them that way to help fight symbol drawing.

Honestly probably the best thing Picasso has come up with.

I fucked up and started drawing it way too low on the page, so the last bit of legs got cut off

>tfw can copy the drawing near perfectly without even turning it upside down

Feels good to have sharp eyes and excellent observational skills

Did this back in February when I started drawing.

I did better than most everyone in this post on my second week drawing but I still suck major dick and draw worse than ONE. Guess I'm just good at copying things upside down.

shouldn't we be doing this with a real ref
copying picasso's drawing kinda defeats the purpose

>>3020560
nevermind i'm retarded, just looked at the original exercise in the book

>>3020560
am i suppose to draw it upside down or should i flip it and draw it? I dont get it really.

>>3021072
Flip the Stravinsky reference upside down and then draw it like that. It helps you overcome drawing what you see and rather drawing what is there.

Not at all.
Also clean up your lines.

>>3021661
Why? Clean lines make a drawing look too sterile.

why is there no merc_wip version

What if you're just lazy?

>>3021727
Messy lines are, to me, a pretty good indicator that the artist doesn't know where to draw the line, so he/she makes a few good guesses and goes on from there. While its a great trick to get you started, there should be a point where you decide where the 'real' lines should be so you can clean it up. As a finished project it doesn't look good at all.
You can get a better effect through shading and multiple sizing your lines.

First drawing.
The head is fucked up, don't know how I didn't notice the dent in it.

>>3021727
Only if you can't use them right.
Now do you want to learn your craft or hide from it, answer that for yourself.

Why did you draw the lapel of his jacket buttoned into his vest? It makes no sense.

>>3021727
only if there's no sense of lineweight or if it's been traced

thinking that chickenscratch looks good is hella indicative of novices

I realized that my proportions were getting out of whack so I pressed on into uncharted territory. Not as bad as I was expecting.

>>3021751
And your cleaned up version of his sketch gives off a different vibe. His sketch is more menacing, IMO. Yours doesn't have that feel.

>>3028085
His lines were too messy for me to see that.
