contour drawing

The next assignment from Freehand Sketching: An Introduction, by Paul Laseau is to begin drawing crumpled paper. The thought process is that you don't already have a symbolic image for this item stored in your brain, so you won't be able to draw without looking - "these exercises train your eye to believe what you see as you try to map that in a drawing."

"Remember to allow yourself the luxury of looking very carefully..." - Paul Laseau.
