Invisible Drawing Contest - "The Time is Now"

"The Time is Now"

This post is my contest entry for @yoganarchista invisible drawing contest. It was definitely a lot of fun & made me set aside my usual perfectionist standards. Although, I still did try my best. Once the lights were off, I "saw" swirls that then led me to feel inspired to draw this hourglass. I was surprised upon turning on the lights that the shape of the hourglass itself was "okay." I call this "the time is now" for obvious reasons & because I felt time was slipping away as I was basically hemming and hawing over what to draw whilst sitting in the dark.

I picked my mediums beforehand - I knew I wanted metallic in whatever I drew hence the sharpie selection. I also knew I wanted chalk for the background. Here's what things looked like before I started...

In the end I stuck with three colors as you can see. The metallic sharpies have different caps than the black one but otherwise color selection was random because I obviously could not see!

Here are the RULES:

1. Turn of the lights. (prepare a paper and the pencils or other drawing materials you want to use before!)
2. Look into the dark
3. Draw what you see... if you just see black, thats fine, just draw what your hand feels like
4. Since you are sitting in the dark for a while you can make out shapes on the paper you are drawing on very roughly
5. Get inspired... continue drawing (eather destroying the thing your previous drawing was looking like to you or drawing in a way to make the vision more clear... or do both and go crazy on it)
6. Choose a title
7. Turn on the light
8. Take a picture of your drawing
