Alt-text: A humorous 2x2 chart featuring a drawing of a reindeer-like animal with antlers. The x-axis is labeled "SEE PAPER" and the y-axis is labeled "SEE SUBJECT." The chart appears to illustrate a balance between observing your subject and your drawing surface while sketching. In the top-left corner, there is a red circle near the reindeer's nose, suggesting a Rudolph-like theme. The chart is signed with "TUESDAY2X2.COM" in the bottom right corner.
According to Wikipedia, “Blind contour drawing [upper left quadrant] is a drawing exercise, where an artist draws the contour of a subject without looking at the paper.” And anyone who’s ever tried drawing something like a horse from memory knows how silly the result can be, even when you can look at your paper while you draw (lower right quadrant).
