    Contour drawing involves outlining the exterior edges of objects with a connected line and no shading. There are two main types: blind contour, where the artist draws without looking at the paper to develop hand-eye coordination; and modified contour, where the artist looks at the object 90% of the time and the paper only when the pencil is not moving. To draw a contour line, begin at a focal point and follow the edge of the object with the eyes as the pencil traces a continuous flowing line without lifting from the paper.

    Contour Drawing: Guided Notes

    ● Contour: Contour means "outline", and presents exterior edges of


    objects. A plain contour has a connected line, no shading, and
    emphasizes an open "shell" of the subject.

    Types of Contour
    ● Blind Contour
    ○ A Drawing Exercise where the artist’s draws the contour of the
    subject without looking at the paper.
    ○ Benefits: develops hand eye coordination, forces you to look at
    what your drawing.
    ● Modified Contour
    ○ You can look at the paper ONLY WHEN THE PENCIL IS NOT
    MOVING
    ○ Rules: you are looking at the object 90% of the time. Not looking
    at the paper when the pencil is moving. DO NOT LIFT PENCIL

    How to draw using Contour lines


    ● Begin with a focal point on the object and continue concentration as if
    the eyes were drawing the image. The eyes follow slowly around
    the edge of the object. The pen, once placed on the paper stays
    there moving in a slow line development until the entire contour is
    completed.
    ● One continuous flowing line: MEANING DO NOT LIFT PENCIL
