Blind Contour Heads
Definition
• “Blind”– Unable to see, sightless
• “Contour”– An outline, especially one representing or bounding the shape or form of something.
Definitions
• “Blind Contour” is:– Drawing an image WITHOUT looking at your
paper.– You draw a continuous line, without lifting it off
the paper.– “Make up lines” when you need to move to
another area.
Definitions
• “Blind contour” is a drawing exercise that allows you to “see” beyond what you think you see.
• It’s NOT supposed to “look good”• Blind contour is used to “train your eye” to
look for details.
