Inspired by Danny Gregory

Inspired by Danny Gregory I wanted to try this... I've read about the upside down technique in the books of Betty Edwards. I never tried it before, just seeing this little movie inspired me to action. My first attempt was distorted, but when I made the drawing the same size as the picture I've got this result. It only took me 5 minutes and I drawed directly in ink! Yes, I'm sure I will do this more...
