Here is my latest video on YouTube, "How To See Like An Artist".
There is something different about how artists look at things compared to how non-artists look at them. We have to train our eyes to look at a subject in a completely different way in order to understand how to translate that 3-dimensional object onto a 2-dimensional surface, and make it look 3-dimensional. Artists are illusionists in a way. Our sole objective is to make something appear as something that it isn't. So what is it that we are looking at when we draw or paint a subject? Or rather, how are we looking at it?
