Blind+Contour

=//** Blind Contour Drawing **//=

Blind contour drawing is a technic where you do not lift your pen, pencil, or brush from then page and you look at just the object you are drawing. The following images are my attempts at this technic.

So this drawing was my attempt to draw my partner's face. As you can see I didn't do a very good job. The problem I had was I started at one point and then I lost my focus and switched to a different part of her face.

This drawing is better because I just followed the outline of my hand.



The top left object is a paint brush and the problem I had with that piece is I lost my place while I was drawing. The top right object is a small squirting bottle and the problem I had with this is that I didn't connect the lines because again I lost my focus and my hand drifted farther down the page while I was drawing. The bottom object is a travel coffee mug and the problem I had with this piece is that I didn't maintain a good sense of space.
