Description

Aaron Yamada-Hanff, a coworker and friend of mine teaches concept art, and he told me about an exercise that he has his students perform. In this exercise, he has the students look at something they're interested in or otherwise relates to things they like drawing for about 10 seconds. Then, they put the image away, and are instructed to copy it.

The exercise is meant to broaden your memory and observational skills, while simultaneously forcing you to make design decisions. Its a very cool exercise, one I wish I had been doing a while ago.

This is my first foray into it, and I'm cautiously excited. As you can see what I drew and what was looked at was wildly different. Very, very nacho.

Wow, that's a really neat idea and the way it turned out is quite interesting. The overall shape and feel of it is definitely similar but, honestly, I like the way your version looks rather than the reality. The larger sized bombs and the larger under-carriage seem to make it more intimidating to me.
