Here is one of my 'single line' drawings from the class. I like the weirdness that the 'extra' lines give to the portrait.

I've also uploaded all the 10 drawings I made in this class. I've drawn in a small notebook and on A4 sheets of paper with sharpies and fine liners. I actually really love all the 'no look' drawings! They are fun, a bit creepy and I just can't stop looking at them!

Only looking in the mirror not the drawing. I used a sheet of paper in front of me to hide it too.

One of my favourite! So creepy yet competing. Also drawn by just looking into the mirror and not at the drawing.

Another 'no look' sketch! I look like a dog pirate! :D

Forth drawing without looking. I might be getting better! To make it easier I did try to also not lift the sharpie so I don't get as lost in the page, just like Amandine recommended. It works!

First drawing of the class, and I'm quite happy with it. I'm usually so hopeless with my non-dominant hand, but this turned out ok. I think it's because with my left hand I have no choice but to draw slow with changes the focus and the type of mark making. I'm going to try and stick to a weekly left hand drawing practice.

First single line self-portrait.

Another non-dominant hand sketch with a brush pen. Some weird distortion but still some character to it

single line drawing with a black sharpie drawn over a watercolour practice sheet. I like to draw over those painted watercolour scrap in my practice but this is the first time I do a single line sketch over it and I really like it! I was also drawing this one while having a chat with my studio mate, which added an extra challenge, but I did try to really rely on observation and not detach my eyes from the mirror!

This is one is drawn with my eyes closed. wonky, weird but also wonderful :)
