I enjoyed the blind contours...continuous-line blind contour drawings are those in which we can't look at the drawing subject, nor can we lift our pencil from the paper. In a nutshell, fun yet frustrating.
I numbered many of them because I was running out of patience with the assignment, though. Note the lines; we had to avoid an outline in favor of numerous contour lines.
I like this one. It looks like a crusty old zombie hand. This sort of thing is what is known as "expressive distortion."
Finding different positions with my hands was fun.
Another fun zombie hand.
Though I enjoyed the blind contours, the observed contours were terribly frustrating. My drawing technique relies heavily on shading instead of blatant lines, so those exercises got really old really fast. I hated not being able to erase my slip-ups. Obligatory definition time! An observed continuous line contour drawing is the same as the above, except we are allowed to look at the subject at hand (pun intended).
These were my first few, which were fun and vibrant. I had obviously not yet lost patience with the whole fiasco. Obviously the ones on the left are blind and the one on the right is observed.
One of the few observed drawings I actually like, and of course it doesn't photograph well...
...no comment.
This is me being INCREDIBLY fed up with this assignment. Note the grossly exaggerated middle finger. Also an example of VERY expressive distortion.
Aaaaand I draw in the lines anyway, since I can't erase, hahaha, so there, assignment...
Um, the end. I'm not used to blogging about things not fashion- or fanfiction-related...
