Blindfold drawing. I could tell the object was a rubber duck from the shape and feel of the smooth rubber.Blindfold drawing. There were some “accessories” that weren’t on a typical rubber ducky that I had a hard time identifying. The hat also had an interesting tactile pattern that I tried to identify and draw.Drawing without blindfold. This was much easier to draw for many reasons. firstly I could see where my pen was on the page. Secondly it was easier to draw the object in perspective as I was looking at it with my eyes versus just feeling it. I don’t think I would have picked up on the hat pattern if I didn’t have to draw the object while blindfolded.

Blindfolded drawing. Tactile notes: soft and smooth overall. rougher and hard parts / leather stitching. The inside had some soft and warm wool. Leather was also squeaky.Overall it is an intricate and complex object but feels comfortable when wearing.Blindfolded drawing. I used a soft pencil to try to convey the softness of the leather, while pen was used for outline and hardness of stitching.Drawing without blindfold. Without the blindfold I could pick out all the intricate stitching and where the glove folded. Still a complex object to draw even without the blindfold
