tired of blind contours yet? Doctor's Guitar

blind contour of this very special guitar. It's my boyfriend's. When we hopped freight trains across the southwest, this was the only thing we arrived back with. Well, that was the only thing he arrived with. the only thing I had strapped around my neck when we got back to Tennessee was an accordion.

Lamp (another blind contour)

loki ( blind contour of my roommate's dog) a Lab mix

My roommate,Tim, has a Lab mix. She's a rescue, but she sure as hell doesn't have any Border Collie in her! (If anyone caught that, thumbs up!) Anyway, I've been working with her in training and discipline because Tim isn't doing a very good job of it and her bad traits are rubbing off on my dog, Soma. It took years of hard work to get Soma as well trained as she is now, but lately, she has been acting like the rules don't apply to her anymore just because Loki is misbehaving. I'll be damned if all that hard work is going to fall by the wayside when it comes to disciplinary action and just plain old loyalty! I have taken it upon myself to train her my way because a simple "Bad girl, Loki!" from Tim isn't making the cut when it comes to training with consistency. Tim is a good artist, but works as a vet tech. Maybe by the time he gets home from work, he's tired of wrestling dogs and is rather lax with Loki. It's not like I am asking him to teach Loki to play the kazoo. Enough ranting...Loki hopped on my bed and I drew her as a blind contour. Well, I had fun. Thanks for reading all of the afore mentioned bullshit.

room with a view in East Nashville

this is an almost-strictly contour drawing. I love lines, contours, blind contours, etc. so here's the view from some room in East Nashville. It ain't much, but it's something.

crossword camel sketch

I love this sketch. I'm proud of it. it is graphite and prismacolor marker.

stupid, digital, dorky, and dumb fire hydrant

this is stupid, but did this to go along with my other hydrant sketch.

hydrant's revenge!

this is the revenge of the fire hydrant.

Sketchy Face

Believe it or not, this took a long time for me to do.

Shoe

I was trying to focus on a contour drawing here.
Line quality. There isn't really any depth. Flat.

Elephant Steak

This sharpie drawing took a while with the stippling and all.
I like to see images side by side that have nothing in common at all.
It sort of forces me to find a way to see how the 2 objects or images are related or how they can possibly be connected.
