This is an experiment with a technique called "Blocking in", a kind of observational drawing that involves visualising objects as shapes rather than entities, and gradually filling out blobs of flat colour via the outline of the shape. Comparing the image you've drawn with the one you're attempting to replicate isn't allowed, and neither is viewing the image you're trying to replicate as anything but a mass of shapes. For example, the image you can see wasn't an elephant, it was just a "Mass of grey", and I had to attempt to recreate this.
Whilst straightforward, I found this exercise rather challenging; I find drawing without being allowed to look extremely challenging, and almost as much a test of mental resilience as it is drawing capability. Nonetheless, I believe I did acceptably well.
