Flashback - Lines

These three pieces are all assignments about doing lines. The first one was done in High School. I think. I remember doing it, but can't even place when or where I did it.  It is just a random assortment of objects and I was supposed to do everything with lines - no shading, no sketching. Then, I outlined it all in ink. (sorry about the glare - it was wrapped in a plastic cover of sorts).(And, as a parent of a violin player, I just cringe when I see the broken up violin!)

This next one was done in college in my dorm for a drawing assignment for my class. If I remember correctly, I had to draw it all without lifting my charcoal. It is just a sketch, obviously, nothing frameable, but I thought it was an interesting assignment.

And this last one, at first look, seems to be an awkward drawing of a person. The fun thing about this is that it is called a blind drawing. Meaning, this girl (in the picture) and I sat across from each other at a table, and we had to draw the person across from us without ever looking at our paper - completely blind. I think it turned out pretty good - especially when you can see what the other ones looked like. Try it sometime. It is pretty tricky.
