I have such fun with Niff's Blind Contour Fridays, even though I make an idiot of myself.
By the way, that small weird thing to the left of the coffee mug is a salt cellar. And, please, let us not discuss the exploding Half and Half carton, which is its neighbor.
For other, (and let us hope) saner, Blind Contour Friday participants, voila :
Donna Darko , Karen’s Blog, Rachael Fowler, Callathump, Janey’s Journal, LilyPilydaze , Apple-Pine, Lindsay Olson, Monkey Paints, The Seeks, Koukla Carolyn, Wally Torta, June 25th, Kimlan Cornell, Learning Daily, Paula Becker, Craft Monkeys, Jim Jones, and some new additions;
this is hillarious and beautiful drawing - I am completely in love with this oatmeal life!

Excellent! I love the different stages.. I'm going to have to try something similar.

Thank you, Paula. I know that drawing as much as I've done this year is really improving my skills, and the blind contour exercises are part of that. I'm sure they help.

I'm late on the comment bandwagon, but just wanted to agree with the others that these are so fun! It's obvious you are enjoying this process. Are you sensing it strengthening your drawings skills in general? Looking forward to the next 'un!

Thanks, you all---I like doing the running water. I first did that in my bathtub drawing and had to draw it again, it was such fun! Seeks,you and I were inspired by food and Wally was inspired by something else. But then, Wally IS something else ;D.
