Drawing

"The reason why most people draw badly is because they draw symbols instead of what they see.  A nose is sort of triangle.  An eye is a circle with another one inside it.  An ear is a circle with a squiggle.  The brain has an inventory of shorthand symbols for stuff, and that's what we draw."    -Danny Gregory

Try drawing without looking at your paper.  Look only at the object you are drawing and move as slow as possible.  Your eye and your pen should be moving at the exact same speed.  Your drawing may look a little weird, but I guarantee there will at least one area that resembles the object with accuracy.
