Drawing tip #2 - View your drawing from a distance
After the initial construction and after having blocked in some of the darker areas and added some tone it is important to start looking at your drawing from a distance from time to time. Place it closer to the model you are drawing so that you can easily shift from watching the model to watching your drawing. When you work on your drawing in your lap it is too close for you to get a overview of the drawing and by placing it in front of you and away from you you will be able to get that overview that will undoubtedly tell you what areas need more work. Squinting your eyes while looking at your drawing and model from a distance is important since it helps you focus on the “big picture”.
