Usually if you split a face in two, you will find one side is more pleasing than the other...this leads to a great art lesson having your students do 2 studies using both sides.<br />Thanks for your terrific comments!Gail Bartelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549902387435797475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935245842937611173.post-6383056115604892422009-10-13T03:35:00.592-06:002009-10-13T03:35:00.592-06:00Hi Gail,

Tis very seldom that images/faces for that matter,are symmetrical. Will sketching to get a mirror image affect the final result? I'm excited to give it a try but just got curious and would like to have an answer to my very amateur question from an artist's point of view, thanks for sharing your talent. nenetnenetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935245842937611173.post-16753033449801225082009-09-07T15:19:16.898-06:002009-09-07T15:19:16.898-06:00What a great idea!
