by Carla Sonheim : Lab 2
I drew the giraffes as 2 separate drawings with black fine point sharpie on sketchbook papers, and combined them during scanning (because they make such a cute little family).
I drew these blind contour. I did not look at the paper as I drew, only when I repositioned the pen. I repositioned the pen for the eyes, ears, start of the spot groupings, start of the manes, and the tail on the tall giraffe.
I must have had beginner's luck with these - I am happy with how well they turned out. I tried to draw blind contour elephants later in the day and it was a complete disaster! ha-ha!
This is my "take it further" drawing for the chapter. I drew these three octopi blind contour. I did not look at the paper as I drew, only when I repositioned the pen at the start of each octopus. Drawn with micron pen, colored with Indian ink pens and colored pencil.

Hi Cheryl
Did you consider sending your giraffes into the website "one million giraffes" Have you heard of that project. they have over 950,000 giraffe drawings now (in a quest to reach 1 mil by the end of the year) I have submitted 2 different giraffe doodles, there is a link on my site (just search giraffes) by the way I love you family of them. very cute.
Keep on drawing
