Space the Final Frontier!

Gesture drawing.  The more you do the better you become, the more you relax. 

Again here I was starting to focus on details and forgot about shope and action.

Sorry this one is hard to see.  I really don't like using the pencils. 

Our next project was to use different pieces of furniture and overlap them somehow to make a composite picture.  Here is a contour picture of three pieces of funiture.  An antique dresser, coffee table and managerie shelf.

Here is the positive space illustration.  Everything that is negative space is colored in dark. 

Here is the same composite overlapping picture with the negative space left white and the positive space colored in. 

Geometric white shapes drawn with soft graphite pencil in contour line drawing.

Negative Space geometric shapes.

Same figures showing the negative space as white and the positive space colored in. 

Positive space of Geometric pictures.  Here the negative space is black and the positive space is white.
