I’m calling these “Blindies” to differentiate them from blind contour drawings. For a blindie, one doesn’t look at the drawing in progress, just as with a blind contour. The difference is, one keeps one’s eyes closed, looking only at a mental picture. I started doing these when my eye doc told me to sit still with eyes closed for 3 minutes after adding drops to my eyes. The results are sometimes hilarious, sometimes awkward, sometimes recognizable, but always interesting. And generally continuous line, in which one goes not lift the pen from the paper.
