Ladies oh so fair

A what?

I first discovered this technique at Art College about 7 years ago. It's taken me 7 years to discover it's called 'Blind Contour Drawing'.  You can draw anything using this method but the most exciting results come when you draw faces.

This way of drawing forces you to really look at the face you are drawing and evaluate what makes it different from all the other faces in the world. In a strange way these scribbles are more accurate than a nice neat pencil drawing. 

The way I've chosen to render these reminds me of the Cubism. They are a sort of Cubist caricature. I'll be updating this every time I do a new one but here are a few for now.

Hi I'm Clare nice to meet you.

I look like this in real life.
