Blind Contour Faces
A dense ink blind-contour study in which dozens of faces overlap into a single continuous tangle of line. Drawn without looking at the page, the work captures gesture and likeness through uninterrupted contour, turning a classic warm-up into an all-over, crowd-like composition.

Blind contour is the exercise that humbles you fastest — you have to trust your hand and surrender control of the result. Letting the faces pile up and overlap turned the discipline of it into something that felt alive and crowded, like a room full of half-remembered people. It keeps reminding me that looking hard matters more than fixing every mistake.
