I drew a wine stopper having only felt it with my hands, both while blindfolded and while looking at the page as I drew. I then observed it’s temperature, textures, weight distribution, and the overall emotion it evokes in me.

Assignment
I drew three random items blind-folded. Then I annotated and analyzed them without blinds.
The cable has the bigger end (USB) and the smaller end (Lightning). I recognized the lightning port by touching which it is rounder and smoother than my other charging cables. I know it is in a loop but I don’t know how exactly the cable is curved.
This shows the feeling of thickness, softness and weight of the cable.
The second item is a lip balm. There is a rough part at the bottom designed to be easily rotated. Without looking at the drawing, I couldn’t know where I drew the lines. But I guess the lines communicate the rotating motion by accident. When I rotate it, it feels like I am pushing it out.
This is the balm or ointment surface.
The third item is a lock. The lock makes sounds even with little movements. When I was blind-folded, I was sensitive to sounds. Again, the “rotating passwords” part is drawn out of the place.
I couldn’t feel the difference between materials by touching, but I felt the different textures of the same material. Because I couldn’t see or feel the numbers, I couldn’t unlock it.
