And squint!

Another one of my tools I have used throughout this art course is our eyes! Yes we have used our eyes! We use them not to just look into the mirror while drawing self portraits or to look at the colours on our colour wheels. Another way we can use them is to squint. Squinting is useful when your drawing with conté. Once you loom in the mirror and see what is there if you squint it makes drawing easier and you can see almost like a black and white photocopy. It helps to block bright, neon, sparkly colours out. (Don't forget the boring ones too!!!)
