Blind Contour Drawing

On this assignment we had to draw 4 portraits using cante, ink with a brush, ink with a stick, and charcoal (or pencil).

I did the assignment as asked, and I think it turned out pretty good. The eyes were suppose to be on the side of the face, and the nose way out of proportion, right?

I liked blind contour drawing, but I feel it's a waste of paper. Those 2 ply bristol papers are expensive to only have one little scribble drawing on it. I feel we, the class, could have gotten the point with some regular paper and a charcoal pencil, or regular pencil. It would have been a lot cheaper.
