Monday

Grab something nearby, it will be the object you use all week.

Set a timer for three minutes, and draw it without looking at your paper.

This is my narwhal coffee cup. Can’t you tell?

Blind contour drawing forces your hand and eye to work together instead of letting your brain “correct” everything before it hits the page. You stop drawing what you think an object looks like and start drawing what you actually see. It builds hand-eye coordination, trains observation, and—most importantly—kills the perfectionist voice that wants every line to be right.
