Look, This Is What I Saw

Take for instance this sketch of Vicky Jo, as she powders her nose. The student’s sketch is rather static as if the girl was doing it for the fi rst time. In my sketch I fi rst opened up the “stage” so you see both shoulders and consequently some third dimensional negative space. I angled her right forearm to appear to move toward the nose, intensifying the activity in that area — the thing she is concerned with. The image in the mirror, though, is the center of interest. Notice in the student’s drawing the spacing is even and static between the face, hand, and mirror.
