BASIC DRAWING SKILLS & ART TECHNIQUES
• CONTOUR DRAWING: What is it? Why do it?
• CONTOUR DRAWING: What is it? Why do it?
Contour drawing is a continuous line drawing of the outer edge of a subject. The purpose of a contour drawing is to practice looking slowly and carefully at the details of your subject's outer edge, timing your eye with the movement of your hand. It is done slowly without lifting your pencil or pen.
A blind contour means you do not "peek" by looking at your paper to check where your pencil is on your paper.

IMPORTANCE OF COMPOSITION IN YOUR DRAWINGS & PAINTINGS
IMPORTANCE OF COMPOSITION IN YOUR DRAWINGS & PAINTINGS
Composition is the arrangement of the subjects on your paper or canvas. Subjects should be arranged to move the viewer's eye around the artwork, not going off the page. Space, the negative area of a drawing, and the drawn subjects, the positive areas, should be balanced.
Composition is the arrangement of the subjects on your paper or canvas. Subjects should be arranged to move the viewer's eye around the artwork, not going off the page. Space, the negative area of a drawing, and the drawn subjects, the positive areas, should be balanced.
A helpful tip is to AVOID placing the most eye catching part of your work, the Point of Emphasis, directly in the center. Better to place your main subject, the brightest, busiest, boldest or biggest, off center.

Artists used color in a new and unexpected way. Because of their "wild"use of color they were called the Fauves. Like the Fauves you used unnatural color, in a color scheme to paint your self portrait.
