I call this "blind contour drawing-self portrait-with morning hair". Who am I kidding, my hair always looks like that. It's 5:33 am, and believe me, my eyes are NOT that wide open. Blind contour drawing is an interesting process because you are only looking at your subject moving your eyes ever so slowly and moving your pencil at the same speed. It's difficult to not rush your eyes or your pencil. The results are er, well, judge for yourself. The inner critic quiets down. There is great freedom in this technique. I'm sure my mouth will straighten out once I've had my coffee.....
