Contour Defined

Blind Contour
Contour Drawing Defined

>Involves observing and recording the edges and boundaries of shapes and the space between solid forms

>Requires accurate observations of all details and variations of the subject

Plain Contour-Look back and forth from the place to your paper to check the shapes and proportions

Blind Contour-Draw a single, continuous line that describes the edges of a form. Look only at the place (you are drawing) not the paper

Negative Space Contour-Draw the negative space contours (the open areas (air) around and in-between solid masses or shapes.
