DRAWING SUBTLE SHAPES
Recreating a subtle shape from
memory is not easy. The
unfamiliarity of the shape and
its subtle spatial relations
make it difficult to copy.
A second difficulty in drawing
accurately even when copying
from actual objects or other
pictures concerns the subtle
spatial relations that
constitute certain shapes. For
example, suppose we attempt to
sketch a horse or a picture of
one. For most of us, this is
difficult to do well, even if we
take great pains with it. We
realize when we look at our
first attempt that it is not right,
but, curiously, we do not
necessarily know why it is
misshapen. If we continue to
revise the sketch, we can
recognize when it is improved.
By converting the task into one
of correction through
recognition, we may eventually
achieve a satisfactory drawing,
but few take the trouble to do
so.
