After a weekend retreat, its back to good old eye training with Mr Bargue. This is the final ear of plate 4 I can’t wait to finally work on plate 5.
I had quite an achievement tonight. I did this drawing with no measurement at all. Every single choice I made was based on comparison made only with my eyes. And I think I did remarkably well.

Drawing Comparison
The largest differences are the shadow in the center of the ear and the cast shadow on the right. I’m beginning to feel as though my powers of observation are increasing and as long as I focus on comparing shapes or sizes by flicking my eyes back and forth I can achieve great accuracy.
Of course this is just a two denominational comparison, the real test/challenge will be when I’m comparing three denominational objects.
