this is when you draw an object in front of you, not from a secondary source like a photograph, and draw excactly what you see without changing anything. Observational drawing appears less flat than drawing from a secondary source. You cannot do observatinal drawing unless the object i in front of you!

JudyObservational Drawing is the most common forum of Drawing. Its drawing from a direct observation (REAL LIFE) and not a picture. Drawing from a picture might be easier but Observational Drawing tends to look better. (And Yes, Experienced Artists can tell the difference if you drew from a picture or not.) When you draw from observation, it allows you to get the values (shades and tints) down precisely and to show the shadows and curves of an object while drawing from a picture limits the values and makes it look flat.
