OCA D1: Enlarging an image

Success

My outcome was reasonably successful, however I don't think you can obtain the character, emotion or style depicted in a free-flowing drawing. I feel I had greater success with the larger, detailed image than I did enlarging the cylindrical shapes of the cup.

Satisfaction

I wasn't completely satisfied because of the reasons above; I like the pen or pencil to flow naturally when I'm drawing, and I couldn't do this when confined to copying small squares. However, I have used this technique in the past when painting a natural portrait from a photograph and it was very useful for marking out targets and proportions.
