Contour drawing

Contour drawing

 
Contour drawing is a technique in which artists create an outline or contour of an object without lifting their drawing tool from the surface. This method focuses on capturing the edges and shapes of the subject, emphasizing its form and structure. Contour drawings can be done with various drawing tools, such as pencils, pens, or even digital devices. There are two main types of contour drawing: blind contour drawing, where the artist doesn't look at the paper while drawing, and continuous contour drawing, where the artist observes both the subject and the drawing surface. This technique helps artists improve their observational skills and hand-eye coordination.
