Classical Drawing Techniques
This is a systematic, step-by-step process to represent what your eye sees. Typically, beginners of representational drawing confuse what the eye sees with what the mind thinks it sees. That confusion of information hinders accurate representational drawing. Employing the classical method of drawing will enhance your natural visual skills by keeping your thinking mind busy with an analytic process of observation. That objective process augments the visual authority of what you actually see and will aid you in achieving accurate representational drawing.
