Linda,
I draw upside down too! (when I get too dizzy, I turn sideways..)
But seriously, I use the 'drawing on the right side of the brain' methodology. Betty Edwards has been invaluable to me in seeing shapes, rather than body parts. I find using this technique the most helpful, along with sight drawing. However, if pressed for time, I do a quick projection, and check the drawing with my brush throughout the process of blocking in. It all works.
I still think keeping a sketchbook handy in my bag has been the smartest habit I've started as a painter.
Great post, Steven.
