Blind Contour Head on Chair, 6"x4", ink

Another blind contour of a woman resting her head on a chair. Those lines behind her head are rungs on a wooden chair. The space in the drawing is so important, more than half of the paper is empty, thus giving the drawing room to breathe.

Basically this drawing was made without ever looking down at my paper, sort of like the old school typing test when you couldn't look at the keys while typing. My favorite part of drawing like this is when I am in the process of making the actual drawing and in my minds eye the drawing is exactly like what I am seeing. Then I look down at my paper and am stunned and thrilled at the the facts. Just the facts ma'am. Ahh the discrepancy of reality and what is in my head.
