Yes I have a silly sense of humour... good job you do too!<BR/><BR/>cream - I doubt its a new style - more a revisit of an old one - unless you mean a new hair and make-up style - oh no!!!<BR/><BR/>GG - a blind contour is usually done by looking at the object that you are drawing but not letting yourself look at all at the drawing. I like doing feelies as well. Those are done with the eyes closed, and you feel the object with one hand and draw with the other.<BR/><BR/>Your cousin would be welcome to stop by!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05635758748108011584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16297785.post-1132053223688362932005-11-15T11:13:00.000+00:002005-11-15T11:13:00.000+00:00I'm not sure what 'blind' means, does it mean you ...I'm not sure what 'blind' means, does it mean you close your eyes and draw, or you don't look at yourself in the mirror, just draw from 'memory' of what you look like?<BR/><BR/>I looooove this portrait. <BR/><BR/>I'm going to pass on your blog link to my cousin who draws / paints but had stopped for a while and can't seem to get back in the groove now.neena maiya (guyana gyal)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01358313821005038118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16297785.post-1132005339011491482005-11-14T21:55:00.000+00:002005-11-14T21:55:00.000+00:00It is the start of a whole new style, Caro!
