You see superman take a doorknob of a car and instead of opening the door he will tear the door out or even lift the car. The same thing happened in the first superman movie with Christopher Reeve. Half way through the movie a chopper falls of a roof and superman saves it by grabbing the undercarriage.

In both cases I would have expect the doorknob or the undercarriage to break off. But that didn’t happen. But since this was a movie I suspended my disbelieve and took it for granted 
. The idea seemed to be that if you have one part of an object, you have the whole object.
My drawing works a bit in the same way. On a drawing course you learn that you should begin with an overview of the object and then fill in the detailt.
When drawing a face that means that you start out with the eyes, then the eyebrows, the nose, the mouth and the rest of the face. All the time while you’re concentrating on a detail you keep an eye on the big picture.
I’ve tried that but it doesn’t work. Although the drawing I get is about as bad as this one it just doesn’t feel right. So with this drawing I’ve tried begin with a detail.
The little peace of shade just left of the right eye (for the onlooker). From there I drew the eyebrow and the nose and then filled the eye in. After that came the left part of the nose and the eyebrow of the left eye and the left eye.
As I said, the drawing isn’t that much better. But it felt like this is the way I should draw. Starting with a detail and working to the big picture.
