In the "Crossing Over from Left to Right" chapter, the "Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain" book I'm following (see drawing) gives you an exercise: you have to draw "Portrait of Igor Stravinsky" by Pablo Picasso, upside down.

So this image: Pablo Picasso, Portrait of Igor Stravinsky

But instead of drawing it by looking at it straight, it's flipped over, like this:

Pablo Picasso, Portrait of Igor Stravinsky - Upside Down

This is designed to make the "left side"1 (the verbal, analytic, symbolic side) of the brain less active and activate the right side (which focuses holistically on shapes and relationships).

By doing the drawing upside-down, I obtained this result:

My version of Portrait of Igor Stravinsky - Upside Down

Which when turned right way up it looks like this:

My version of Portrait of Igor Stravinsky - Upside Down

I don't think it looks bad at all! I'm personally surprised by the result. That's probably the best drawing I did in my life! As you can notice, the most awkward parts are the hands, and a bit of the mouth. Here my left side "recognised" the shapes even when upside down, and was really trying to get them to be drawn how it knew. The whole drawing took me 3 hours (the book recommended 1 hour, but I had to erase and re-do things to adjust proportions and relationships between lines a few times).

This was another fun exercise. The book recommends to do another one upside down before continuing. I'll do it in the next few days when I have time.

1. Science doesn't agree with the right-side vs left-side, but it's a useful simplification wherever this activity happens. Also the author of the book is on the same page, and calls it L-mode and R-mode to avoid controversy.
