>For fun, ask people to draw face. Everything will be at wrong place with wrong size That’s kind of an odd counter example to use. Most people will certainly draw an anatomically correct face (for all intents and purposes) with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. And you’re unlikely to see anyone add three eyes, turn the nose sideways, or move the mouth above the nose. In contrast, this is _exactly_ what people are doing to bikes, as illustrated by the ridiculously funny renders in the article.

> two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. And you’re unlikely to see anyone add three eyes, turn the nose sideways, or move the mouth above the nose. That is not enough for realistic face. In the first place, people wont draw these on the right places and with the right relative size. While the eyes will be higher then mouth, they still wont be on the right place and it will be extremely visible. The nose can be sideways, it sticks out and thus is harder to draw. Also, the beginners nose wont look like actual nose, eyes wont look like actual eyes and so on. It will be kinda like those bikes. Note that none of those bikes have three wheels, two seats or four handles. All of them have seat around where back wheel is, all of them have handles. There is one bike that have back seat small and one that have pedals under seat. These are the worst proportions and relative position wise, but some people will do stuff like that with human face too. When they teach you to draw faces, they teach you literal guidelines to get thing at the right places and sizes. You are then supposed to erase the guidelines. It takes effort to learn for most of us.
