TEXTURES:

CONTOURS:

- Practice a series of drawing exercises on white draft paper to use line to indicate form:

• Fill 2 pages of different organic shapes with multiple number of axis (1-4 axis)
• Draw to "see through the form" by adding contour lines to them
• Fill 2 pages of all the primitive shapes in different angles/positions
• Draw to "see through the form" by adding contour lines to them
• Fill 1 page with Dissections of organic contour forms
• Add interior and exterior textures to "skin, layers, and cores" of the forms

IMPORTANT!

• Try to add varying line weight to your silhouettes (bold vs. thin)
