Note: To keep download time minimized, images were converted to black and white from pencil. They lose texture, richness and some of their depth in the process. I mention that, so when you see your picture here you'll understand why it looks different.

(Remember, you are doing things every day that involves this shift! We're learning here to make the shift at will.)
Once you've looked at these pictures, go back to step one, set your timer and begin drawing. There's homework for your to do at your leisure after you're finished with this exercise. As with all the exercises I invite you to send me your lesson drawings for display at this site, with your name.
