CONTOUR AND BLIND CONTOUR DRAWING

Contour drawing, is an artistic technique used in the field of art in which the artist sketches the contour of a subject by drawing lines that result in a drawing that is essentially an outline; the French word contour meaning, “outline.”  The purpose of contour drawing is to emphasize the mass and volume of the subject rather than the detail; the focus is on the outlined shape of the subject and not the minor details. However, because contour can convey a three-dimensional perpective, length and width as well as thickness and depth are important; not all contours exist along the outlines of a subject.This technique is manifested in different styles and practiced in the honor of drawing development.

Blind contour drawing is a method of drawing, widely used by art teachers, where an artist draws the contour of a subject without looking at the pages. The artistic technique was introduced by Kimon Nicolaides in The Natural Way to Draw, and it further popularized by Betty Edwards as "pure contour drawing" in The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.
