blind contour #8

September 22nd, 2005 | Category: BCF

I hope you can recognize who this is supposed to be. If you can’t, this is Michelangelo’s David. I think the nose is pretty good. My Yiayia and Papou have a painting of David in their living room and I drew it the other day. One of these days I’m going to draw it for real, actually using my eyes.

    A very good likeness – I would recognize it even if you hadn’t said who it was.

    I recognized it right away- the shape of the chin gave it away for me. Good job!

    Before I read your description, I thought how Grecian. He looks like Alexander the Great. You’d never know it was a blind contour drawing.

    Great drawing – reminds me of Jean Cocteau’s drawings
