Learning how to contour draw will… Enhance your drawing skills. Help you Observe and understand objects.

Cross Contour Cross contour lines are drawn lines which travel, as the name suggests, across the form. Cross contours may be horizontal or vertical, or both. Often, in more complex forms, cross- contours will be drawn at varying angles.

They can be complex or simplified

Let your eyes follow the contour of the object you are drawing. When drawing contour…

You look at the object and not at your drawing. M.C.Escher

When drawing contour let your eyes stare for two minutes at the object’s contour. As you follow with your eye, try to draw what you see.

The line should be continuous.

Focus Draw the line slowly and with care. Citation Needed

Use Pressure on pencil To make thick and thin lines.

Step 1. Focus eyes on one point

Step 2. Place pencil on paper Step 3. Imagine that your eyes are the pencil as your eyes move, the pencil moves.

Step 4. Do not take your eyes off the form …move your eyes slowly along the contour, the pencil should be moving along the same contour. Pretend your eyes and your pencil are attached.

Step 5. Try to coordinate your pencil with your eyes …do not move your eyes faster than your drawing

Step 6. Act like you are touching the object you are drawing

Step 7. Move slowly, there is no finishing point.
