Blind Contour Friday…my keys
Posted on Friday, August 26th, 2005 at 12:17 pm
Over at InkfingerNiff & Sutter have started something called Blind Contour Friday. Several people are participating in it now…they have posted links there. This is my first attempt…I added color in Photoshop…that part wasn’t blind. I guess it’s my lame attempt to try to make my drawing better. I know, I know…blind contours are supposed to look bad, but I don’t like posting bad drawings.
Oh, I love this! The photoshopped color is a great addition. I think blind contour drawings aren’t BAD–they’re loose and lively to my eye, but that’s my eye, right ? ;D
I agree with laura, I never think they are “bad” because I know that they are an exercize. It’a all to see how we form things in our mind, and how much detail we really pay attention to.
Still a nice drawing though, I really like the key chain.
very nice, beautiful color choices!
Ah – I’m with everyone else on the *not bad* thing – Danny Gregory say it all much better than I could here -

p.s. I love this illu and your colouring of it
i like the colors and nice keychain!
Love the mixture of colors and lines!
Love the color palette, so refreshing. I think you did a splendid job indeed!
Love the keys!! Makes me want to draw my own…(except I’m helping my son with his homework)
Wow, how did I miss this great blind contour drawing?
I love the contour drawings especially with the addition of color. I also love the idea of the ATC from an earlier journal entry. It makes me wish I could draw. Will they take photos of my collages?
