WARM UP

CONTOURS & CURVES- 6 Minutes-

 

First, practice contour. Contour drawing often uses the ‘taking a line for a walk’ approach, picking a spot and continuing until the drawing is complete, without picking your drawing tool off the page.

 

Take your time in the beginning, as the first parts of the drawing establish scale for the whole drawing. A common mistake is to run the picture off the page, having started too large or in the wrong place. 

 

Second, Draw several points and connect them with freehand curves. Weave curved lines through the ellipses you’ve drawn.
