Hi Sarah, Sorry to hear that your site everyone-can-draw will be closing, but anyway what’s the different between contour drawing and continous drawing? aren’t they the same?

They have similarities but they are not the same. As the name suggests and I explain above a continuous line drawing is done with a single continuous line. An ordinary contour drawing is done with many separate lines.

Hi,
These are great and I can’t wait to try this. I have a question. Blind contour drawing is supposed to be done as slowly as possible. This technique as well? Or is a bit “faster?” What governs the speed at which you move your pen over the paper? Thanks in advance for your answer!

Thanks for your comment.

Yes you’ll probably need to go slowly, but you’ll find that you naturally slow your speed because you’ll have to spend time looking at what you are drawing in order to see where you should go next.

I suppose what I’m saying is there is no ideal speed- you will find your own as you draw.
