Blind Contour Practices


Have you tried this?  You put your paper down, put your pencil at a starting point, focus on what it is your are drawing, and never, and I mean NEVER take your eyes off what you are drawing and NEVER look at your paper.  If you can make the shift over to right brain, you can get some pretty accurate and interesting drawings.  On this page, I first drew HRH then my hand two different times.  Rather looks like a spagetti bowl and it is great food for a brain, lol.

Your blind contour drawing is good. Mine really looked like tiny little lines! I can actually recognize fingers!

How Fun! I'd love to see the section colored in a variety of bold colors - picasso anyone?!
