Project 1 - Contour Drawings

For this project you will be doing observational drawing.  You will be working in the stye of CONTOUR LINE DRAWING.

We will be doing lots of practice on observational drawing skills during class time.  Your final product for this unit will be 4 large format line drawings.  You will be drawing a toy, a shoe, a hand, and part of a bike.  The requirements for the 4 drawings are:


  • You must use the paper space wisely - your drawings should go off at least 2 edges of the paper, and should fill the paper to make for an interesting, dynamic composition.  
  • Your drawings should be done in pencil first, and then inked in.  Make sure to fully erase your pencil marks, so draw lightly!
  • You need to use thick, thin, and broken line where appropriate, varied line quality makes for a much more interesting drawing
  • We are working on learning to SEE like an artist in this project - I will be looking at accuracy of shape, form, scale, and space
