On Learning To see

I had no problem when I didn’t try to name each part I am drawing. I just focused on the shape itself and surrounding lines. Face was more successful than the hands. The features in the facial part were easier to catch than those in the hands. The relationships of lines in the hands were hard to grasp, and they looked like an abstract sketch. I first started to sketch the center of the drawing to make sure the final copy is not weighted toward one direction. Then I sketched the whole frame, dividing it into three parts. I worked on face drawing after that. At last I focused on shaping left hand which was the hardest part to draw. It seemed to have no relations with right hand so I had to draw my own lines to make it seem look alike with the original. I was fully concentrated with my work that I didn’t know how time flew. I was generally satisfied with my final work it is not one hundred percent same with the original but people will acknowledge that my sketch is the copy of Robert Muller.
