Reading Assignment
Through our journey of drawing, we learn of many techniques and terminology that help us better understand how we use our resources. One of the most common drawing techniques is observational drawing. Observational drawing is drawing exactly what you see. Contour line drawing is a type of drawing done with a smooth, even, continuous-looking line. In contour line drawings, the inside lines as well as the outside lines are drawn as the drawing is made, not later added on. In drawing, artists commonly use casual perspective. Casual perspective is the way we understand the relationship of things in space. Artists often combine size, overlapping, and placement effects to achieve deep space in their work.
