Week 1: Introduction to Line




gesture drawing-This quick drawing captures the energy and movement of the subject. It does not necessarily have to be realistic. Gesture drawings are often very expressive and allow one the
freedom to loosen up and not worry about small details.






contour drawing- Outline of the object and interior parts of the object, really just the basics showing the object without any shading.

variable contour drawing/value- Vary the width of the contour line to give emphasis and weight to the line. It gives the illusion of the line having more.

cross contour drawing- Cross contour lines are parallel lines that curve over an object’s surface in a vertical or horizontal manner (or both) and reveal the item’s surface characteristics.

blind contour drawing- Blind contour drawings are those created by looking only at the subject, and not the paper while drawing.




It was a wonderful first class.
Everyone did an amazing job and I'm looking forward to what the rest of the semester will bring.
