A Secret Helper....

Drawing animals or portraits and unsure if the features are right?

Take the image and look at it through a mirror to compare it with the photograph you are working from. The mirror image will point out errors on the Artwork that are not noticeable to the human eye and allows you to correct it.

I have used this method for many years on ALL my pieces of Artwork regardless of subject. As I am a Traditional Artist it is important to me that my work is 'spot on' or as close to.

It's a great way of adapting the image before it's too late to erase the mistake.

Best of Luck and have fun!
