Okay, don't worry when you see these drawings (I can actually draw better than this, I promise!). These are called contour drawings, drawn in one continuous line without lifting the pen. I did these drawings as part of the Portraits and Papers workshop. The self portrait is a blind contour meaning that I didn't look at the page while I was drawing it, I was only focussed on the subject (in this case a photo of myself). It turned out quite Picasso-like I think. The second drawing depicts one of my antique dolls. It's an interesting process that's for sure and very challenging.
