There's a misunderstanding that art is about having good hand eye coordination. Part of
it is being able to make your hand do what you want it to do, but the biggest part of
being able to draw is being able to look at what you've put on your paper and then look
at the thing you're drawing at and being able to see the difference. Being able to see if
you're drawing a face and you drew it too wide or too narrow because it's characteristics
like that that, say for instance, on faces makes people look like who they look like,
if they have a big forehead or they have a small nose those are the things that are important,
and in order to be an artist who is good at drawing things accurately you have to train
your eye so that you can look at things and be able to tell immediately what is wrong
between your drawing and the thing that you're trying to draw, and then you're able to correct
it. So we're going to work on some exercises that are going to help train your eye to do
that.
