I like the way you turned it upside down. It really helps. Thank you for the tip.

I like the idea of turning the reference photo upside down and looking at negative shapes. I've been using a ruler to pinpoint significant points on the drawing . If I just use my eye, I can be so off. I find it super important to get the eye placement and shape right.

[@EmilyOlsonArt]

That's a great idea!
