I’m taking an eight-week drawing class from Seattle architect and artist Anita Lehmann, whose urban sketches appear on the Seattle Urban Sketchers blog. At our first class, we did a few drawing exercises
made popular by Betty Edwards’ book, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. A favorite of mine is modified blind
contour, a technique I used for these self-portraits. To learn what a modified
blind contour is, see another self-portrait I did back in January.
Although these self-portraits are not exactly flattering, the bald-faced honesty and integrity of the line are strangely appealing.

Your class sounds like fun. There is a freshness to the blind contours of people. I really like these...maybe I should try a few. It is difficult to draw directly in pen...my 75 day challenge has definitely been that. Great job on the two church steeples. Your perspective is getting very good.
