Over the years I've made many blind contour drawings, some as self portraits and others of whoever's on my screen. In a blind contour drawing, I look only at the subject, not at the paper. I use a Sharpie to make my lines, then color it with marker or watercolors. The results are usually better than anything I could have drawn while looking at the page!
I think these self-portraits provide a peek into my evolution from beardless young man to bearded no-longer-young man.
For some reason I drew these various Batmen.
While watching the spectacular show 'Deadwood,' I decided to draw various characters.
Here are some blind contour drawings of the characters of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
