Contour Drawing Looking, Looking, Looking, then Drawing
What’s in a contour drawing… Contour Line Drawing- A line drawing showing the outer and inner details of an object, including wrinkles, folds and other specific details Blind contour- drawing a continuous line while looking at your object NOT at your paper Continuous line contour- when you do not pick up your pencil or pen from start to finish Modified blind contour- looking at your object about 70% of the time and peeking at your paper only 30% of the time Implied line- a break in a line that the eye connects (dashed line, row of footprints, etc.)
A contour drawing is not…. • An outline!!!!!!! • A quickly done sketch • A symbol of an object • A hunched-over-your paper-hardly-looking up-at-what-you’re drawing, drawing
What a contour drawing is… ….supposed to look like!!!!
Contour drawing is… • A accurate line drawing showing the interior and exterior edges of the subject • Shows volume and depth by different lines • Slowly, slowly done • Mostly looking
Line is used to explore the interior of a subject Interior lines establish distance!
Different line thickness helps with form and volume Restate lines!
It’s not how fast you can go… …the journey is the destination
