YouTube Video: How To See Like An Artist

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?
