Blind Contours. Not Really

In this video, Schoolism instructor Thomas Fluharty discusses his “blind contour (not really)” technique, one that he uses each time he starts a new piece, and describes how he applies it in his portrait drawing. He explains training the eye to move and track across the subject’s outer edges and inner details, without always needing to look at the paper. You’ll learn to relate angles in order to accurately draw the shapes within the face, and watch as he succinctly demonstrates his process and thinking when it comes to drawing the elements that comprise a portrait.
