3.3.R4 Understanding Negative Drawing (Intermediate)

Explore the process of using your brain and vision to master the technique of negative drawing.

Negative space is any portion of a scene that is not directly a part of the subject under consideration. To draw effectively, you must fully understand the area you are working on. You must be able to experience it in three-dimensions, to feel its texture, and to know how it relates to surrounding areas.

The facial characteristics of most people wander outside generic guidelines. These deviations from what is considered \u201caverage\u201d are used by artists to create caricatures. In a realistic portrait, you accurately capture the proportions of important facial spaces. When some features are exaggerated, these same spaces remain as guidelines for rendering a caricature.
