Negative spaces is a good one to learn. Take you icon above. To draw the arm, instead of drawing the arm, draw the space above the arm and below the chin, then draw the shadow-space below the arm and beside the wall. You'll end up with an arm in the middle.

Are you really sure that your person drawing is worse, and it's not that our recognition circuits for human figures is far more sophisticated, and therefore more critical, than our rhinos and foxes circuits?

Portraits are my fave subject, but they often end up noticably asymmetrical.

I don't even know how you'd define a "proper drawing", but part of this (for me) is about doing rather than defining. Also, see me procrastinate over doing today's attempt! It's scary.

Oh ho! Yes, I think I can take him. All I have to do is keep drawing...

Did drawing of "a person" yesterday. It turned out with a giant enormous chin, and looking uncannily like my sister.
