Upside down drawing

Description

Artist and illustrator Peter Field demonstrates a technique to create a drawing in a fresh way, producing a version of an image by drawing it upside down. He explains how to focus on the lines and shapes rather than analysing things in detail. He produces a figurative line drawing in pencil, depicting a group of people.

Classroom Ideas

This could initiate a quick one-off drawing exercise highlighting the lines and shapes in an image by copying a line drawing upside down.
