For this assignment, we drew a Contour Line Drawing. A Contour Line Drawing is a line drawing done with smooth, even, and continuous looking lines. These drawings describe the interior and exterior linear qualities of a subject. I drew my backpack. I felt I did a good job on this. This was done without lifting my pen and I was still able to manage to have detail in this piece.
Did you gain skill with familiar materials?
I think the hardest part was drawing the creases of the backpack because it required patience and a lot of skill. However i was able to draw the creases of my backpack.
Did you consider how ideas would work before you tried them?
I debated if i should do some form of cross hatching for the netting of the backpack but felt that would possibly contradict Contour Drawing.
Did you try something that you weren’t sure about as part of this project?
I was taking a risk on this assignment because I was vaguely familiar with Contour drawing from sophomore year (currently a Senior).
