Visual Language-Week 2

This week we were shown different sketch methods. These included contour drawing,Implied line,Blind contour and negative space. The Contour drawing was a basic outline of an object(Bottle) to show the shape. Implied line put more detail into the object. With blind contour we draw our hand by looking at the hand and not the pad. The outcome will not be as good as you think but it is good in order to understand how to focus on an object without referring back to your notepad. Negative space is the space outside the object shaded to show the object in a different perspective.
