Description:

Blind contour is a method of drawing where the artist draws the contour of a subject without looking at the paper.

One of the reasons I love blind contour is that it captures a pure artistic moment... an innocence similar to that you may once have experienced as a child.

In the words of Pablo Picasso:
"It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child."

All are welcome to participate. Please only join if you can commit to following through with the swap. I will angel if necessary.

Thanks in advance - Hope you enjoy my swap!

DETAILS:

-- One (1) ATC that is 2.5" by 3.5" (64mm x 89mm).

-- Please ensure your ATC is sturdy or has a sturdy backing.

-- Blind contour drawing can be done in any colour and any dry/wet media format you choose (pencil, pen, marker, watercolour, acrylic paint, etc.).

-- Optional: After you have completed the blind contour drawing, you may add colour to the piece, as long as the original blind contour drawing remains the most dominant part of the illustration.

-- Optional: Add your name, title of artwork, date and/or contact info.

Someone asked whether it has to be a continuous line (some blind contour drawings are made without lifting the pen from the paper). The answer is no. You can make a blind contour using either a continuous line or using as many strokes as you need. Your choice :)

I lost my job on Friday, which is why I was late assigning partners (needed a couple of days to gather my thoughts). I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience, and have extended the swap deadline by a couple of days to make up for it. Thanks again for joining my swap :)
