#ClosedEyeGiraffe

The interwebs sometimes throw up interesting items amidst its regular supply of hate-mongering and fake news. Recently was scrolling through my Instagram feed. Stopped at what looked like a doodle. Read through the description. Somebody had decided to post a drawing of a giraffe. Nothing unusual, except that the drawing had been done with closed eyes! 

Now this seemed a fun activity. 
  • So, work was paused. [It was already on pause]
  • A single-sided printed A4 paper was taken [Aside – use single sided printed sheets for scribbling along in office, doing my little bit to save the environment]. 
  • Paper folded in half. 
  • A giraffe drawn with eyes open [Or what can pass off as a giraffe]
  • Paper flipped over. 
  • Eyes closed and a giraffe drawn [trying to be as similar to first one]
  • And the result is… 
Conclusions 
  1. This was fun! 
  2. My drawing skills are terrible!! 
  3. Sense of scale and position all gone haywire when eyes were closed. 
  4. Enhance respect for blindfold chess players!!!
Fun experiment at the end of a working day!
