Shoe Contour Drawing

Shoe Contour Drawing:

Not looking at what you are drawing is one of the most common errors an Art student can make. Many students try to draw things the way that they think they should look, not the way they actually do look. The only way to draw shape, proportion and detail correctly is to look at the objects. You must observe: your eyes must keep dancing from the piece of paper to the object and back again. Not just once or twice, but constantly. As you start your drawing do not use dark lines since it’s harder to erase dark lines if you need to change something. 


Contour: the edges of an object.
Contour drawing: A slow careful drawing showing the edges of an object.
Observational drawing: looking at the object(s) and drawing what you see
