Contour Drawing:
Contour drawing is essentially outline
drawing, and blind contour drawing
means drawing the outline of the object
without looking at the paper!
Heightened drawing is
usually done over a
darkened background.
The background colour is
used for a mid tone in the
drawing. The shadow and light
are made more extreme by the
application of pencil/charcoal
and chalk.
