It reminds me of what my drawing teacher showed me about the wonders of "contour" drawing, done when you put your pencil on paper, your eye on the subject and try to connect your hand holding the pencil with the steady motion your eye makes around the contour of the subject.<br /><br />It always seemed like a bit of magic to me. Or self hypnosis. After a bit of practice the results were mostly rather amazing...in a good way.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-80442149823663051282014-02-06T22:57:35.014+00:002014-02-06T22:57:35.014+00:00I just hope you can get Grumpy to sit still long e...I just hope you can get Grumpy to sit still long enough!

But to me they have an expressiveness and spontaneity all their own.
