Blind Contour Hand

This school year started with us drawing a blind contour of our hand. This means that we would place our pen on our sketch book, turn away, look at our hand, and draw it using one continuous line. This was very difficult for me because I am a perfectionist when it comes to art and not being able to see what I'm drawing, or if it looks okay was definitely a challenge. Although it was hard for me, this exercise helped me to focus on drawing exactly what I see instead of drawing what I want to see or what I think I see.
