Latest Artwork
Here is my latest drawing exercise, a blind contour exercise, which means I was trying to draw the edges of the object without looking at what I was drawing.
LOL notice I went off the paper!
Of course, without seeing what you are drawing, you can not make it look real, but that is ok, you are just trying to improve your eye, to learn to see what is there. Here is what I was drawing:
When I first looked at it, I thought, "It has no lines! Just the edge! How can I spend 30 minutes drawing that? It is such a simple thing!" Then as I looked at it I almost became overwhelmed by the complexity and number of lines. In the end it was very relaxing and euphoric. I am of the opinion that everyone should learn to draw lol.
It helps me understand Jackson Pollock.
