Blind contour

So, this is my blind counter attempt. I must say it is somewhat intriguing to look at because, in my opinion, it is the best drawing I have ever done. I don't have much of a talent for drawing, and I think the fact that accuracy isn't key in this exercise, really played to my advantage.

I am not sure I am understanding the entirety of the points trying to be conveyed in these lectures but I believe one of the main ideas is attention to detail; moreover, an attention to the quality of lines (i.e. thick VS thin, texture, etc.) and contours (fairly obvious given the name of the exercise). I still do have trouble remembering to keep these things in mind when moving from one exercise to the next. I keep being pre-ambled with giving realistic qualities to the drawings, not always giving consideration to the fact that the quality of line is primal in conveying realism. In other words, I keep trying to jump to the end to get the final product, while not giving attention to the basis of the structure (i.e. lines). If I were an architect, I would be canned.
