    Great post! I did a blind contour drawing back in March as part of my 31 days of rhinos, done 31 different ways. I have posted 16 thus far. The blind contour has gotten by far the largest response from the audience!

    I loved watching this video! You gals have given me a few smiles, a great technique to loosen me up, and the realization that you don’t have to re-shoot and edit a video to death to make it “perfect”! :0)
