What Happens When You Draw Upside Down?

• Your anxiety about succeeding and your feelings about how bad it looks go away.
• Your brain doesn’t access the shortcuts of what you think a subject looks like. Your RIGHT brain kicks in instead.

Look at these student works to see the results! The first one was done right side up and the second one was done upside down and then turned right side up afterward…

Choose a Hard-to-Draw Image

Leave it upside down AND draw it upside down. Your Left brain will give up, allowing you to really see the lines and shapes you’re drawing.

When all finished, rotate your drawing so that it is right side up. Is it better than you would have normally done? 🙂
