WHAT DO DO

Before you begin, Start "seeing" in Contour Line... 

if you are having trouble doing this, watch videos below to help you. 

1. Find 3 objects that you know you can draw. 

They can be around the room, pictures from Internet, or shapes you pull from your head. 

2. Draw the outside shapes of the objects. 

Define the space with a horizontal line dividing background from foreground. 

3. Use contour lines on the object. 

This can be contour in 1 direction or cross contour going both ways (more challenging).

Usually, the Center (eye level) should be a straight line. 

As the shape goes outward from center, lines gradually change to match the outer line. 

4. Color using color theory to add emphasis:

Warm and Cool

Primary and Secondary

Complimentary Colors. STEP BY STEP visuals
