I wonder, can you draw a portrait with your eyes closed?
I dare you to take two minutes and draw a portrait with your eyes closed.
Choose a friend, a pet, or a famous face. If you want, you can do a quick intense gaze memorizing as many details as possible. Then set a timer (2 minutes will feel like forever), place your pen or pencil on a blank sheet of paper, close your eyes, and go. In this 2 minutes I wonder what will happen when you connect your brain directly to you hand. I challenge you to be OK with imperfection. The resulting image will be the record of you thinking about another soul for 2 minutes.
Send me a picture of your drawings, I would love to share a collections of these marks!

My portrait is of my soon to be seven year old. Two minutes thinking about how he hasn’t stopped talking for seven years, his strong eyebrows, and his strong, extra friendly personality.
