Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain

I first started the book and was instructed to do some pre-instruction drawings: a self portrait using a mirror, a portrait of someone I knew from memory (in this case my best friend) and a drawing of my hand, from observation.

As you can see below my self portrait is dire, the portrait of my friend is even worse, and the hand sketch isn't too bad. I think the hand sketch was better because I applied myself more to this drawing; I knew the portrait drawings would be bad anyway so I didn't bother with these too much.
