Blind self-portrait
calm micro quest 15 min +50 XP
Draw your portrait with eyes closed.
Why this matters
With open eyes we draw what we remember about a face. With closed eyes, what we feel.
What to do
Sit at a table, put down a sheet, take a pencil and close your eyes. Do not peek once, that is the whole point. Move slowly and draw yourself from the memory of your hands, not your eyes: forehead, brows, nose, lips, chin, hair. Your free hand may touch your own face and carry what it feels across to the paper. Do not lift the pencil too often, let the line run. After fifteen minutes open your eyes and look at it without laughing straight away: what is usually right in it is the part you did not know about yourself.
Afterwards
What did my face turn out to be like by touch, and does that match what I think it looks like?
