My left eye is lower than my right, and if I work close in, when I step back, my entire subject slopes up to the right. I have never rotated my work, but after reading this, I have and it helps to see things from a different perspective. Hmmm..I guess all life's like that..if you don't step off and see things from a different perspective occasionally, then you just may not see things the way they really are.

This works with digital as well, as I prefer the hand drawn look to the easier way of using the oval tools that can make a perfect ellipse.<BR/><BR/>These drawings are beautiful, Kate.Ginger*:)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14970160779830842600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-330785749209495165.post-56584418813916568222009-01-27T14:19:00.000-06:002009-01-27T14:19:00.000-06:00Good reminder.

If you're not careful it if very easy to 'accept' non-obvious asymmetries (which I have a tendency to do when I am in a hurry. Great idea to slow down and strive for accuracy often enough to ingrain it!)tlchanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10259427561396960607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-330785749209495165.post-50137524768990066162009-01-24T22:34:00.000-06:002009-01-24T22:34:00.000-06:00I avoid ellipses like the plague so this little tu...I avoid ellipses like the plague so this little tutorial helps!
