blind contour self portrait
I had a few minutes to kill while waiting for some paint to dry and suddenly remembered Caroline's tag to do a blind contour self portrait. These were tons-o-fun to do at school so I thought I'd give it a shot.
I started with a silver Sharpie on black paper, but that wasn't enough, so I decided to do another one, right on top, in gold. That was better, but now the compulsive doodler in me saw all these little spaces just crying out for scribbles and filling-in, and I gave in, a slave once again to my obsessiveness.

I'd call it creativity....
I like the double image (hmmm...I wonder waht that means), and it looks wonderful with the filled-in spaces.
it makes me remember about picasso, it´s nice! the golden lines, good.
Looks really good, Andrea!
In flicker it looks even better! Great idea to mix the gold and silver!
Yep Very Picassoesque... Like it!
lovely drawing!
This is awesome. I totally want to give it a try.
I love this!
I also like working on black paper.
One of these days i will have to give blind contour a try and see what happens.
That is great! I love the fact you added "well i had a few minutes to kill". And you came up with something like that off the cuff.That my dear is talent!
To amplify Carla's comment: the double image seems to extend to many levels.
Wow! I'm glad I tagged you! It feels like the artist looking out whilst pretending to be an ordinary person...
I love the way you coloured in bewteen the lines...
"Living a double life", "pretending to be an ordinary person" -- all very accurate assessments methinks...
Double image? Why am I seeing four, then? Oops, that's right, this darned sinus infection and the meds! :D
