    shapes or forms of an image. A contour line can vary in width/weight, but a contour
    drawing does not use any shading.

    1. Concentrate and let your hand follow your eye.

    1. Dont be afraid to mess up!!!


    Blind Contour Drawing
    A contour drawing that is created without looking
    at your paper.

    Artists use this exercise to strengthen their hand-


    eye coordination and to train their brain to be
    more observant of the lines that create the edges
    of objects.
