Blind Contour

Each round runs in three phases. Study the reference outline briefly, then it vanishes and you trace what you remember against a short timer, and finally your line is overlaid on the reference and scored.

• Memorize the shape's edges during the study window.
• Trace blind with the pointer before the gesture timer runs out, the reference is hidden.
• On reveal, your line is graded on accuracy and coverage and given a letter grade.
• Harder difficulty shortens both the peek and the drawing time.

• Desktop: draw with the mouse; click Easy/Normal/Hard, Daily/Practice, and New.
• Phone & tablet: trace with your finger, touch and stylus supported.

• Daily and Practice seeds across Easy, Normal, and Hard.

• Fix the overall proportion and a couple of landmark points in memory rather than every wiggle.
• Draw in one continuous, confident pass; hesitating eats the short blind timer.

Blind Contour gamifies the drawing fundamental of trusting your eye over your hand.

• Skills: observational drawing, hand–eye coordination, contour drawing
• Best for: all ages
• For parents & teachers: the classic exercise of trusting your eye.

Studying a reference, drawing it from memory, then overlaying the result is a variant of contour drawing — the exercise of drawing the outline that conveys mass and volume rather than detail.

Adding the overlay comparison is the original feedback.

The classic exercise deliberately withholds feedback: you draw without looking at the page, and the wobbly result is the point. Overlaying afterwards keeps the discipline while answering the question it usually leaves hanging — which is where your eye was wrong.
