Egon Schiele, Portrait of the Artist’s Wife, Standing, with Hands on Hips The work is drawn almost entirely using contour lines Fingers and shirtsleeves are drawn with great economy Lines of hair vary in thickness and regularity Lines suggest an organic surface Machine-like pattern of clothing, contrasting with the other lines, helps to reinforce expression of organic surface

Types of Lines: Contour Line Edge indicated indirectly Artist draws lines to indicate volume Contour lines: volumes that make lines appear as they curve away Henri Gaudier-Brzeska Female Nude, Back View, c 1912

Contour Line: 3D form with volume (This includes outlines) Outline: creates 2D form

What is a Contour? Contour means “outline”, and presents exterior edges of objects, shapes and forms. A contour is also considered an edge. A plain contour has a clean, connected line, no shading and emphasizes an open “shell” of an subject. More complex contours can imply shading values through interior outlines, may have line texture or be contrasted with mixed media. Where gesture drawing is fast, contour is slow and more deliberate.

In Class Exercise: Visual training is the purpose and accuracy the goal. No erasing is used Begin with a focal point on the object and continue concentration as if the eyes were drawing the image. The pencil, once placed on the paper stays there moving in a slow line development until the entire contour is completed. Eyes focus from object to paper without head movement. Take your time!
