I tried really hard to do this with a continuous line... but didn't make it... got lost and had to pick up the pen. I think it counts for day two's ink only contour drawing though.
I think the main benefit is teaching yourself to concentrate and really look at the thing that you are drawing. Doing it in ink, so you must live with any line you draw adds to the difficulty. People who do it well, can produce really beautiful drawings and paintings... mine are still wonky.
Hi Elaine. I've wondered often what the benefits of continuous line drawing are. Only recently come across this way of drawing.
