Modified contour drawing
How to begin a modified contour drawing of a personal object. Select a personal object of a relatively small scale (bag, shoe, etc.) and draw the scene on a 9x12 sheet of quality drawing paper. Modified contour drawings are freehand drawings that split time between looking at the object and looking at the drawing. Do not shade or render. Focus on observation, clean, crisp lines, and composition of the drawing on the page.
