Blind Contour

In this project, we looked into a mirror and drew what we saw in the mirror on the paper without looking at the paper. Then, from the blind contour, we made a picture with color. We turned a shapeless hand into an animal that looked real.

I did this by working really hard to not look at the paper and focusing just on what was in the mirror. I tried to shape my drawing to what I thought was in the mirror. Then from one of my drawings, I just drew what I thought my blind contour looked like.

I did this drawing because I like to try new things. I have tried many different types of art, but I had never tried blind contour before this. I also chose to draw an elephant because I thought that four of my fingers formed ears.
