(scroll to the bottom to make sure you do all assignments)

​
Positive/Negative Space Drawings



One helpful tip when drawing from observation is to learn to see the negative space. 

​Draw a 5x7 inch rectangle border in your sketchbook using a ruler.  Next draw the plant on the left (or choose your own plant reference), filling the rectangle you just drew.  Split the space with a lightly drawn line.  Use a pencil to shade one side, and use your thicker sharpie to color in the negative space on the other side, like shown in the examples.
