First let's find out what a Contour Line drawing is. The contour is the outline of a drawing, and shows the outer edges of objects. A contour drawing has a clean, connected, and continuous outline of an object. Pencils, ballpoint pens, black markers or sharpies are good tools to use when doing a contour drawing.
In Today's lesson we do a contour line drawing of a shoe (any will do). Practice first by doing several 1-2 minute timed sketches of your shoe. Then do several 2 minute drawings. Once you feel comfortable with your new found skill, you can practice with anything and can even draw several items at a time. I am including some examples of what I did so you can see how to do this. The shoe I used and the line contour drawing I did are above to give you an idea how to do this lesson. These drawings are lots of fun and can be an easy way to ease yourself into the whole art process.
Remember we are only limited by are imagination! I would love to see your finished pieces. Just link up to my post and show us your inner artist!
Happy Drawing!!
