Who? Moi????? *blushes deeply*
Well I don't usually save these, but I did photograph two last year before I heaved them into the trash just to be able to show examples of blind contours. The images are very small because I couldn't see the point to giving them disk space! LOL.... They're actually 24x36"!

Love your sketches, Judy. The first one definitely qualifies as a drawing. Very nicely refined.

I'm going to try blind countours around the house too. Will keep you posted!

Found time to sketch while my daughter had her hair cut tonight. But this is not her... it is her good friend, who came along to...?...watch??? uh... I'm a dad... I don't really understand why girls go in pairs to have their hair cut or powder their noses. :) It had something to do with friend-support-bonding-something. Anyway, she was kind enough to be my live model tonight.
