Blind Contouring

These are some great examples I think of blind contouring. This is what I'm aiming for my the end of this project. So far, I have been practicing at home my blind contouring by shutting my one eye and moving my pen at the same speed as my eyes are moving from the object I am trying to draw. Slowly I have noticed some improvement in my work because I have been practicing. These two blind contours is what I want my art to look like. I think these are both really great blind contours because you can tell it is real and not just a fake "blind contour" because the lines are not perfect and perfect is not what the focus on this project is about. You can tell that the lines are all connected and they have not looked at their page while they were drawing this. I like the effect the colour on the first image has. This is something I could get ideas from for my project because they have chosen limited colours and have coloured different shapes that were created by the lines. I will keep practicing to not look down at my page while I am drawing and fix my eyes on the outline of the objects I draw and track my eyes, going very slow and steadily to achieve the blind contour that I like. This will take a lot of practice but I am up for it!

Hellenistic Period

The Hellenistic period have developed much from the Archaic and Classical periods as you can see with all the detailing and exaggeration. If you look close up in the mans face you can see the precise detailing with his facial hair. You can see the muscles look more realistic and human-like compared to the sculptures in the Archaic period. If you look closely you can see how the feet are as if they are real! They have stretched their skills from the earlier time periods. The faces look more exact and realist with some expressions as well. The impressing thing is that it is done in marble!

Classical Period

These sculptures in the Classical period have developed from the Archaic period as you can see. These sculptures are more precise and detailed. They took the regular stiff sculptures and became more creative and started making it more human-like and they have more movement. 

Greek Kouros from the Archaic periods of Greek history

This is a picture of Greek Kouros from the Archaic periods of Greek history. Kouros was made from marble and it stands for a cultural revolution.These Kouros are very stiff and old compared to the sculptures in the other periods of time in the Greek history.
