Partially Blind - Negative space activity for a minute followed by a one minute ink exercise emphasising more on the positive space and then swapped pictures with neighbour and finished with a blind contour drawing using two colours (which I did, so my bit is the skeleton legs and feet over the shoes - reminded me of an x-ray).

Overall Evaluation:

Out of the 15 drawings I chose mostly the pastel drawings because I felt they were my best rather than my ink paintings.

I like the contour of the subjects and I felt  I really captured the beauty of the human form.  It was quite hard not to look at what I was drawing but with more and more practise I did actually get better and now I use the same technique in my own drawings.

It was much easier to control a pastel without looking rather than an ink brush.  I haven't had much experience with painting but hope to better my skills next year.  Also drawing and painting using an easel is far better than a flat table, shouldn't be that hard to make an easel aye??
