I was always a terrible observer until an art school teacher made me do loads of drawings where I wasn't allowed to look at the paper, only at the life model. Although the drawings would usually come out as a scrambled mess of lines, the individual lines were truer to what was in front of me than what I was doing before. From there it was just a matter of looking at the paper again, but with a redressed balance of observing the subject.

Nowadays I've slipped back into bad habits of invention again. I find 3d a lot harder than painting - so many angles from which everything has to work. Computer monitors are also ruining my eyes.
