- Blind Contour Drawing: Select an object and draw its outline without looking at your paper. Keep your eyes fixed on the object while your hand moves to capture its edges, resulting in a rough, often distorted sketch that emphasizes observation over accuracy.
- Contour Line Drawing: Carefully observe an object and draw its outer edges with deliberate, slow lines, focusing on the shape’s form and details. This technique highlights the boundaries of the subject without shading or interior detail.
- Cross Contour Drawing: Draw lines that follow the surface contours of an object, as if tracing ridges or curves across its form. These lines can intersect and wrap around the object to convey volume and three-dimensionality.
- Continuous Line Drawing: Draw an object using one unbroken line from start to finish, without lifting your pen or pencil. The line may overlap or retrace itself, capturing the essence of the form through a single, flowing stroke.
