Is the foot-tapper in any of these sketches? Do folks ever bother you while you’re trying to work in those types of venues?

Where did “beaver pond” fit in with the discussion? I’m curious!

Thanks Dave, blind contour drawing is where you look at the subject and not at your drawing while you draw. You follow the contours of the subject with your eye and recreate that movement and contour with your pencil or pen. Semi-blind contour drawing is where you occasionally check the position of your pencil or pen while you draw.
