When you draw just one small part of something—like a quarter of an orange or a quarter of a sunflower—you have to really look at that piece very closely. You can’t just draw what you think an orange or a sunflower looks like from memory, because you’re only seeing a little slice of it. This helps you notice things you might have missed before, like the tiny bumps on the orange peel or the way the sunflower’s seeds are arranged in a spiral. By drawing just a quarter, your brain stops guessing and starts paying attention to the real shapes, lines, and details right in front of you. That makes you a better observer—and better observers become better artists!
