In the first part of Rebelle Art School with Daniel Ibanez ([USER=46523]@MamboBon[/USER]), we explored [URL='https://www.escapemotions.com/blog/rebelle-art-school-a-step-by-step-guide-to-contour-line-drawing']contour drawing[/URL], learning to follow the edges of forms with pure observation. Today, we’re going to shift gears into a more structural way of thinking: [URL='https://www.escapemotions.com/blog/rebelle-art-school-construction-drawing-and-cross-contour'][B]construction drawing and cross-contour[/B][/URL]. These two approaches are like the backbone and heartbeat of your drawing practice. Contour teaches you to see, while construction and cross-contour teach you to build.

Do not hesitate to share your practice sketches in this forum thread.
