Art is math. Everything is math! Take a pencil, draw a line, curved so many degrees... to have the drawing look like someone specific, the curvature has to be SO EXACT - so precise, so mathematical - yet the artist intuitively gets it. Well, Tim does. On the right, his 60-second sketch. On the left, my tenth attempt.

Here is the photo we were working from:![18951289_10213246399544455_3107870980948922352_n[1].jpg](https://images.ecency.com/p/6KincH1mMRDFT4vcM8ZvNbzUJDvk92fWwtmad9L2JRMwScbGRk9LqosKotntnz5tAbe59puiDawa6ANy5aJDYUDQNdme9JQxrR2eZTdjBnEXkAeaHMtfRir2mmYASJ8qVZNtRctUZCzFvZ1hK2g7uq5ggj6UoUKcYpTepMsS65M5VADPNQbE6J.png?format=match&mode=fit)
My husband (the "right" artist) is an electrical engineer. Both sides of the brain (right/left) work together. Me, the two sides are avoiding each other like an unhappily married couple. As #4 of five sisters, I was dropped on my head too often. The world wasn't ready for my genius to be realized. Thank you, sisters 1, 2, and 3 - you saved the world!
Meanwhile, artists among us, I welcome you to the challenge: one simple curved line, capturing the plump baby profile. Challenge #2: Capture that wide-eyed stare of his, taking in all that he sees. It's just an oval, filled in with #2 pencil. That's it! Easy, right? Right??? Well, Matisse made it look so simple... I'll bet Matisse was a math genius.
Eventually, I'll get around to introducing myself.
