Blind Drawing The Blind

Blind Contour is really fun - I mean, when else can you draw like a 5 year old and get away with it?
The most difficulty I had with it was scale. I did a few drawings, but the first ones barely took up half the page, so I had to work on getting the drawings to be bigger.

Another thing is that I didn't realize we had to draw with one continuous line...I never looked at my page, but I would lift up the pencil/conte/ink when there was an area that I thought that was necessary. Hopefullly that wont count off my grade too much...I honestly didn't know!

Anywho, here be the rejects:

SO,
When I got back from drawing on Tuesday, my set up had been knocked over - no pictures.

The fabric assignment was actually quite enjoyable for me - I love drawing drapery; it's one of my favorite subjects.
The charcoal, however, isn't one my favorite mediums, but in pencil form it wasn't too bad. I used a little bit of vine charcoal to help me map out my composition, because it just smudges off. Using the ruler was a little cumbersome (it kept smudging my lines and getting charcoal residue all over my drawing), but in the end I liked the result and appreciated the challenge of depicting something more lyrical in nature with harsher straight lines. Also, I hope this homework shows I've learned my lesson! Only achievable goals! Think about the time limit when making decisions!
