Line Weight Example
Blind Contour Line Drawings
Is the same as above... without looking down at your paper.

Tips for drawing from observation
--Measure!-Compare proportions to other parts of your drawing.
--Look for basic shapes--cone-cube-sphere-cylinder
--Line weight variation--the thickness of your line will help determine how far back something is in visual space.


Bring in a small object to Draw. No bigger then the palm of your hand!Object must have detail! If you don't bring something you will be stuck drawing something of mine..
