Very interesting exercise. Turns out I draw more accurately when I can't see. For the next week I'll try drawing while only looking at the object.

I'm here for the exact same reason and I love it how he explains things and how drawing suddenly becomes so easy when you watch these videos.

Back in the 1960's I was a member of the local Church. We had pantomimes and Beetle Drives and Christmas Parties. It was great fun being a part of it. Sadly all that came to an end in the seventies. One thing I do remember is a Christmas Party Game we played that I've never played since. We were all given a sheet of paper and a crayon. The lights were turned out and the room was in total darkness. The person leading the game then narrated a story and told us to draw the things in the story as they were described. It was about landing on the moon. The surface of the moon was described with it's craters and rocks, which we had to draw, and then the rocket landing, and the spacemen getting out and wandering about on the surface. Moon men were also described and you had to add those to your drawing. It was hilarious to say the least. and the resulting drawings were very laughable with the exception of one. He was an amateur artist and his full time job was a draughtsman. He also cheated because he used his cigarette to see his paper. But it was one of the most memorable parties I ever went to. Drawing blind just reminded me of that night. I think it would be a great idea to do from a podcast if people want to try it with their lights out at home in the dark whilst listening. Maybe someone will try it out?

“Isn’t that cool?!” Yes! Very! What a great lesson, especially when applied to further practice, absorbing the idea, and -hopefully-allowing it to become part of your mode! Loving this series!✌🏼

I really enjoyed this exercise. I don’t understand how, but mine actually does look like me! Thank you so much for these videos. I decided I wanted to learn to draw very recently, at the age of 32. Mainly because I am interested in jewellery design & industrial design, so I figured I should at least know how to sketch. A couple of days later I discovered your channel, and within a few days of that you started this series. So I really feel that I am meant to be here with you on this journey. I have gone from believing “I cannot draw”, to “I absolutely CAN draw”, and all because of this series.
