Here comes the famous artist wearing her incognito-enhancing sunglasses. She's moving so fast--damn paparazzi-- her lips have broken the sound barrier. And here are some of the supplies of the famous artist. Don't they look like a 1950's cityscape ? I painted blind here as I did for last week's--now don't act all surprised.
For a look at all the other fabulous entries for the second, weekly, international, wacky drawingfest called *Blind Contour Friday click here: Inkfinger, Niff's blog or, here:
Rachael Fowler, Bearskinrug, Kimlan Cornell, of Sock Monkey Drawer, Wally Torta, Elain Phipps, Lindsay Olson , Koukla Carolyn, The Seeks, Fiona, karen Winters, NuthinFancy, LilPilyDaze, and Learning Daily.
*blind contour drawing is when you don't look at the paper as you're drawing, you look only at the thing being drawn ( in case you've just joined us or you forgot what the heck I'm talking about.). For comparison, here is a quick and actually pretty inaccurate colored pencil self portrait of said artist with sunglasses on.
Ha! These are great. You look fabulous all hallucinatory like that. And your paints--they look just like the bottle for Ungaro's Apparition.

Harry, I'll do better than bringing the drawing--I'll bring the lips themselves! Heh. Yes, I'll bring it and my blue sketchbook and stuff. We'll draw hard! Amanda, you'll love BCFs--can't wait to see what you come up with! Thanks, P, J and K for stopping by.

Oh Laura, I love these. You're right. They look so much like that 50's style. Great work. I'll have to start joining in. It really looks like fun and a wonderful way to loosen up.

I've noticed that when drawing bc, everyone seems to have the same nose. This is a great idea, lots of fun and no pressure. What more could you ask for. I like that you even painted yours bc. I tried doing my hand. I think I'll try a self portrait next and see if my nose looks like yours.
