XChapter 7
Make a contour drawing of your hand. Contour drawing is a very careful,
perfect outline of the object. Concentrate on drawing exactly what you
SEE, not what you THINK it should look like. Draw the hand in which
you are not holding the pencil. Place this hand about one foot in front of
your paper so you are not looking directly down on it. Flex the hand to be
drawn so that the fingers are bent. You may not see all the fingers; draw
only what you see as exactly as possible. Leave this drawing as a line
drawing, no shading.
SUPPLIES: paper, pencils
