In class I drew this sponge. It’s texture and squishiness were the most apparent feature. Drawing blindfolded I was focusing on the experience of my hand, but trying to translate this to a visual representation, while not being able to see the lines posed an intresting hand minds-eye coordination issue.

It came out well enough though.

For homework I posed this challenge to my roommates, to deliver me an object to draw – where I couldn’t know what it was. There was a lot of laughter as they scurried around the room scheming ways to make this as challenging as possible to me. I was sitting unsighted the whole time and that really built up the tension. The strangest object of all time was delivered into my hands, but as I investigated it it broke into pieces. Slowly I was able to figure out exactly what some of the objects were.

Even as I knew what the objects were drawing them on the page unsighted was still challenging. Ultimately though the lines were quite expressive and im very satisfied.

The drawings on the right end of the page were done after regaining sight.
