Blind Contour Drawing

My personal blind contour drawing

I’m inspired by Austin Kleon’s Blind contour drawings and wanted to quote Nicolaïdes from Kleon’s blog post:

Learning to draw is really a matter of learning to see — to see correctly — and that means a good deal more than merely looking with the eye. The sort of ‘seeing’ I mean is an observation that utilizes as many of the five senses as can reach through the eye at one time. Although you use your eyes, you do not close up the other senses — rather, the reverse, because all the senses have a part in the sort of observation you are to make.
