Contour Line Continuous Line Speed Coordination
Contour Line Pencil is stuck to paper- 1 continuous line Work slowly….. Pencil is drawing exactly what the eye is seeing, little by little
1.Focus eyes on a starting place 2.Place pencil on paper 3.Imagine your eyes are the pencil. As your eye moves, the pencil moves. SLOWLY at the same pace
Do not take your eyes off the form, do not look at the paper, move your eyes slowly along the contour, the pencil should be moving along the same contour. Try to coordinate your pencil with your eyes; do not move your eyes faster than your drawing
Contour or Outline? Contour is more than an outline Ant crawling across the form What other lines can you draw to show details- INSIDE the outline?
Contour Outline
Blind Contour- look at object not a paper
Modified Contour- look at object 90% of time, glance at drawing occasionally
Cross Contour- lines laying ACROSS object. Not outline.
Contour Drawing- uses both blind and modified and cross- contour. Line is most important
