Drawing from Touch

For these self portraits I drew from the sense of touch without looking at the paper. I feel like these portraits (although not proportionately accurate) are more truthful than if I had drawn from a photo or by looking in a mirror because I think that by using those techniques we often draw what we want ourselves to look like and not our true self. By drawing without looking, just from touch, we are forced to feel the forms and outlines of ourselves.
