The colors, shades, and shadows are of course not applied blind. Coloured pencils.

A late post for Blind Contour Friday. It shows a ‘wayfarer’, a ticket machine in trams. Colour was not applied blind.
BCF Nor
Well, I really thought that I would not make it this week. I am pretty busy at the moment, so lately I have to make extra hours at work. But I persevered, not only work has deadlines, BCF does too!. I drew the line drawing blind in the car this morning. We went to work together and Nor drove the car. So I did blind contour drawings of his profile. However, honestly none of the drawings looks anything like him. I think one of them looks more like a cousin of Shrek. Another one looks like something right out of LOTR. I did have fun. Eventhough it does show that I am bad at drawing people, blind or not. BTW, colors were not applied blind.
And it will be Friday in about 5 minutes…

I am annoyed with Blogger! I tried to upload my blind contour drawing last night, but Blogger wouldn’t let me. I kept getting ‘Unknown Host’ error messages, while I didn’t do any changes on the setting! It is exactly the same this morning, last night and last week. Duh!
So here is my Blind Contour Friday (drawn on Thursday night) for this week.
It is of a ‘Spa Blauw mineral water’ bottle drawn 3 times. The line drawing was done blind (see below), the color was not applied blind (obviously), the splash was done somewhat blind. I did take precaution for the last bit, I did it in our bathroom.

An entry for Blind Contour Friday (BCF).
My blind contour drawing is ’slightly’ late. It is still Friday at this moment, but it is already late in the evening overhere…Well, I am just late with posting it, since I did draw it yesterday. Anyway, guess what this is….Again, I applied the colors with my eyes wide open staring at the line drawing. Only the line drawing was done blind.

First BCF
I am not finished with my BCN stories yet. I haven’t even finished scanning all the BCN sketches. Gosh, scanning CAN take a lot of time….But right now, I am interrupting the BCN flashback with something more important. A blind contour! Here is my entry for the Blind Contour Friday.
I know it’s a day late, but I actually drew this on Thursday night in the metro on the way home. It’s a cup and a saucer (can you recognize it?) from the Riviera Maison winter catalog. On the far left, I drew a BC of one of their armchair. In case you are wondering, the color is not applied blind. I applied the color today, just before scanning.
I decided to join the BCF cult after reading Karen Winter’s post on ‘Conquering the Inner Gorgon’. I have done some BC drawings but never posted them. I/my inner critic considered them as ugly. However, I want to get rid of my perfectionism and I am on my way there. So hopefully, doing BC exercises will get me there faster. I will most likely post my BC drawings later than Fridays, since I usually don’t have enough time to post drawings on the day I make them.
