Many of us are struggling through a difficult drawing technique called "blind contour". This is an exercise where the artist does not lift their pen or pencil and only looks at the object they are drawing. Our desire to create images that are "realistic" often gets in our way when drawing and makes it difficult for us to really see what is in front of us. This is an excercise to train us to slow down and record what we see vs. what we think something should look like. Here are some examples from a Philadelphia based illustrator Matt Sutter.

That cannot be a blind contour. I can't believe how it looks! Look at the details and lines! That is AMAZING!
the first appears to be pretty blind, the second I believe was refered to on his site as "semi blind"
