Pure Contour

This project we had to do pure contour drawings these are more technical drawings. we started by using a light pencil to draw our hand holding a rubber band. This helped us look at the angles and changing shapes of the rubber band in contrast to the hand. Then we had to draw three angles of our shoes.

To do this we also started with a lighter pencil and then got the major outline complete not adding any detail, I drew a hand with a rubber band, I began by using a lighter H pencil to get the basic outline and be able to erase if needed. After the outline was complete we went on to darkening the lines, in doing pure contour there are not any patterns so once finished with the outline it was complete. By darkening some of the lines it helps show depth and makes the image look realistic without adding texture.

This project was a struggle for me because I like to make a lot of quick lines and pure couture is about not making quick lines. I had to work really hard on going lightly at first and trying to make one plain line rather than a bunch of smaller ones.
