Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain

Flip it upside down to activate your right brain.

 

 

Want to be better at drawing?

 

 Want to be a great artist?

 

Here's a great strategy to practice building the muscles of your right brain:

 

TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN!

 

That's right. When you turn a picture upside down it confuses the logical left brain. So, the right brain kicks in and takes over the process.

 

Find some pictures of things you'd like to draw. Then turn them upside down and draw what you see.

 

Notice that your brain now starts to see the shapes more clearly and that the judgmental side of your left brain doesn't interrupt and say, "that doesn't look right". So, now that your critic is turned off, keep drawing and you'll be amazed at how quickly your skills can improve.
