Blind Contour Drawing

Since I posted my blind contour drawing yesterday on my blog (scroll down) I have been contacted by Peggy Stermer-Cox who hosts a "blind contour drawing" blog site! Who knew?

How fun is that? The one to the left is the featured drawing right now (by Dan Haase). Click here to take look at this interesting blog!

My first introduction to blind contour drawing as in Betty Edwards now famous book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.

If you haven't tried it, take a minute. No rules. Just do not look at your hand while drawing and do not lift the pencil or pen from the paper. And you do get better with practice. Start simple. It is sure practice to get you "noticing" details.
