Did you ever paint in the dark or with your eyes closed?
Perhaps you are the one who tried to paint with your mouth or foot. If this isn't the case you might give it a try (it's fine if you make a drawing with a pen, pencil or sponge instead.) There's no need to buy paint if you don't have it.
To show you what drawing/painting in a different way looks like and why drawing with your eyes closed is worth the try three video are added underneath.
What is asked
You have the next options:
- Leave a comment with a drawing/painting made with your eyes shut and show/explain how you did it.
- Make a drawing/painting with your mouth, foot or... and share it plus your experience in the comment section.
- Make a post( in this community) where you show your piece of art and describe what you did/experienced. Leave the link to your post + the picture in the comment section.
Prizes
#1 3 UFV + 3 Steem
#2 3 UVF
#3 3 UVF
Grant Sharman broke his neck playing rugby, he became a mouth painter. If you watch the video you'll see his first painting and how he improved (if you ask me that very first isn't bad at all).
Gijs Frieling (Dutch) his paintings cover entire walls. In the next video you can see him (and others) at work. @cryptopie do you like this?
Let's have a look at the video of Sketching Skool. I like this teacher (Danny Gregory) but have to admit that I just like one of the commenters could easily fall asleep if I hear this calming voice.
Explained is how and why you should paint with your eyes closed.
I painted this picture using my mouth. I had never tried doing this before. I thought it would be difficult, but now I believe it’s not so much difficult as it is very time-consuming. I spent three hours painting this, whereas if I had used my hands, I think I could have finished it within an hour. It was very hard for me to make precise brushstrokes, which is evident in the painting. I had to correct my mistakes multiple times, which led to some frustration.
It also didn’t help that my mouth hurt from holding the brush continuously, so I had to take breaks. Now, I can imagine just how much willpower people who paint this way must have. Of course, I understand that anything can be learned with practice, but how many paintings, failures, and frustrations must one go through to paint as skillfully as Grant Sharman?
I believe that all blind artists or those painting with their mouths or feet send us an incredible message: “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” Despite any adversity, we should continue pursuing our passions or seek out new ones. It’s up to us to decide what we can and cannot do, and often, we are the ones who limit ourselves the most.

I will try it and now you mention it I wonder if there's a trick to hold that pencil or put something around the part you put in your mouth.
Did you make a sketch first?
Even for 3 hours this is fast. My compliments. The upvote is deserved!

I didn’t make a sketch. I tried to replicate my favorite spring flower, Viola odorata. It resembles it a bit, but it’s still far from perfect. I used my teeth to hold the brush more steadily, but that didn’t prevent me from going outside the lines.
Now, I think that when you’re painting near lines, the brush shouldn’t be too stiff, and it’s also very important not to hold it at a fixed right angle. Instead, you should adjust the angle based on the specific part of the painting you’re working on.

I will try it but I have to find some paint first or see if I can make it better. It suffered from the cold and it's nearly impossible to use it now. It makes sense that the pensil shouldn't be too stiff which also is only possible if the paint cooperates.
Since you were the only one who joined. You won. Congratulations and thank you for giving it a try.

I tried the blind thing, but it turned out so ridiculous that I don’t even want to post it. It looks like a 3-year-old could have done better, even with their eyes closed. 🥲

I like to ask if it was a Picasso. I read that remark as the "skool" showed how to make a "feeling". I believe that is how it all started.

I've been doing a lot of sketches of birds lately and I figured maybe I can pull it off with my eyes closed.
However, this looks like a grandma bird or perhaps a kiwi? It's worth a try to say the least...
