focus = observation of

• contour line

• ellipses

• line quality light to heavy

• line, distortion and reflection

You will complete your final study of contour line drawing using A3 paper and pencil

1. Refer to the attached examples of good practice to create a simple still life of three clear objects. [Successful work tends to have something in the background as well - table edges/book stack, woodgrain]. Photograph your still life and convert it to grayscale.

2. Do a detailed contour line study from your photograph onto A3 paper. focus on the shapes and main lines first - keep it light till it's right. then go back in and add smaller contour lines showing reflections/highlights/abstract shapes from shadows etc.

4. Use your darker pencils to emphasize the stronger lines [thick and thin ends] and leave some lighter details in light pencil
