I thought it was extremely helpful to focus on one specific area of the body and work on a larger scale with cross contour. This exercise actually helped me imagine the body on the picture plan other than two dimensionally. Even though this looks like a bunch of zebra stripes, it was helpful. The one thing that I struggled with when attempting the cross contour drawing, was focusing on each part of the area I was drawing little by little. My eyes would loose their spot on the body at times and then I would have to figure out where I left off.
