Contour+Drawing

=//Contour Drawing// =  Contour drawing is a technic like Blind Contour, however you can look at the page as well as the object and you can lift your pen from the page as long as the lift has a definite purpose. Meaning that the lift is necessary, but still looks like you hadn't lifted your pen from the page. The following images are my attempts using this technic.

This is a better drawing of my partner because I was able to look at between her and the page. It would have been better if would have given her pupils, but it is definately is an improvement from my blind contour drawing of her.



I found drawing these tools was easy because they have a general flat look to them and there aren't my details to tools.

I definitely struggled while drawing this because I couldn't figure out how to get the 3-D effect and I didn't capture the details of the banana.

This piece looks flat because I lifted my pen too often making it look disconnected. I realize now that I should have chosen a different part of my father's combine.

This piece has a better flow to it because I didn't lift my pen as often. Another thing that adds to the flow if this piece are the lines, lines keep your eye moving throughout a piece of art work.

This piece displays a good use of white space without being to overbearing with taking over the entire page. This piece also has a nice flow to it because you eye is constantly moving to take in all of the images on the page.
