In class one day we worked on blind contour drawings. How we did these drawings was by putting our pen down on a point on our paper and our hand in a position; then we had to attempt to draw our hand without lifting our pen off the paper while focusing on one section at a time and paying close attention to detail. The point of doing this was to try and focus on what our hand actually looked like and not what we thought it looked like. As you can clearly see, these were quite hard to do and still get a good representation of the hand. My biggest difficulty for me I believe was getting my hand to be its actual size. All of my drawn hands were significantly smaller than my actual hand. Overall, I feel as though this was a good experience as it made me realize how even if you think you know how an object looks, it's not going to be realistic without paying close attention to detail and the actual object itself.
