Contour


Look at how quick I am at updating when I'm asking for help! This next project is also for drawing, and actually both are due at the same time. This project is about contour line. Contour is all about making one slow, continuous line to create you piece. In contour you are not allowed to lift your pencil so there are often times where you get odd lines in places where there shouldn't be lines. We did our neighbors faces for a warm up (see above). It's terribly messy. I think most high school students remember contour drawing with disdain because of blind contour, WHICH SUCKS, but fear no future art students most of your professors hate blind contour too!. Ok, so it was the same project as the gesture one, still life, desk, yadayada, but no lifting of the pencil.

Once again I got in trouble for attempting to shade, but other than that my teacher thought is was pretty well done. Are there any areas that I should really go back and fix?

You and your shading! No really I think there good, personally I like the contour ones more but I think it's cause you were more forced into not shading because you couldn't pick up the pencil. Sorry but the only advice I could come up with is practice, so you get use to the techniques so the final product is closer to what your professors are looking for.
