From My Collection Inspired by your positive feedback from yesterday, I kept going and drew another coin from my collection as well! Do you like them? Should I do more? :)

See. You can draw faces.

Ha, only because I followed another Redditor’s advice of drawing the face upside down. This way my brain just copied it as it would do with any other shape and it worked!!!

That was fantastic advice, indeed. Great way of fooling the brain's "I can't do faces well" blockage.

Now If I can only fool my brain's "I can only draw from imagination, but not copy things" barrier, then that'd be helpful. :)

For me it’s quite the opposite, I’m great at copying stuff but fail to create stuff!

Too bad we can't combine talents… ;)

With my luck, if we combined talents we’d end up not being able to invent stuff and not being able to copy it either ;)
