Seeing the blind contour | Ian Sklarsky | TEDxCapeTown
My art simply shows that there aren’t any wrongs, it’s the enjoyment of figuring out how to get from point A to point B with one line without looking and creating what you see
"Blind contour refers to a method of drawing in which the artist draws a line and never looks at the paper. It takes what one sees with one’s eye and with study allows the hand to trace the image from one’s brain. I pursue this method because of the ways it captures the essence of my subject. The contours I draw with Xucheng pens create a sense of rhythm and movement while capturing the essence and character of the subject in a very intimate manner. I am experimenting with introducing sculptural forms into my work by projecting drawings onto large canvases; vectorizing them; and using Plexiglass, cut vinyl, and 3D printing.

Wonderful, I personally, did not have ART classes in grade school. First grade, 12 grades in one room, one teacher, 72 + students is hard to believe.

Couldn't even see the result.....what was the point of the big camera guy???
