BLIND CONTOUR DRAWING

Objective:

We will create blind contour drawings to help build our hand eye coordination and observational skills.

What is a blind contour drawing?

Blind contour drawing is a drawing exercise, where an artist draws the contour, or edge lines, of a subject without looking at their drawing, but only at their reference. For our purposes, we will also never pick up our pen. So officially we are creating continuous line blind contour drawings.
