Mirror drawing is what happens when you notice your own reflection is free life-drawing practice. You draw your face, your hand, a stranger's face reflected behind you in a café. The trick isn't skill — it's that you're looking twice: at the object, and at what the reflection changes about it.
Jak zacząć
- 1Sit in front of any mirror. Bathroom is fine. Bedroom is fine.
- 2Pick one feature — your eye, your knuckle, the curve of a lampshade behind you.
- 3Draw it for 10 minutes. Don't look at your paper until the timer goes off.
- 4Compare. Laugh at the result. Do a second one, looking at the paper this time.
- 5Sign both. Date them. Make it a diary.

The mirror is always there, so 'set up' is zero. Great way to use the 5 minutes before a shower or between meetings.
