Description
Develop your hand-eye coordination and observational accuracy by tracing complex forms. This exercise uses a split-screen approach: observe the reference on one side and attempt to replicate it on the other. Use the "Done" button to reveal the reference as an overlay and check your accuracy.
Steps
- Observe the reference image on the left (or top on mobile).
- Replicate the image by drawing on the right (or bottom) canvas. Focus on capturing the main silhouettes and proportions.
- Click the Check (✓) button when you are finished.
- An overlay of the original image will appear at 50% opacity over your drawing.
- Use the EDIT button to hide the overlay and refine your work, or click TRY ANOTHER to load a new image and start fresh.
Tips
- Don't rush into details. Start with the large shapes first.
- Use the overlay as a diagnostic tool, not a "cheat." Identify where your proportions deviated most.
- Try to "feel" the distance and angles as you move your stylus or finger.
- Re-drawing the same image multiple times is a great way to build muscle memory.
