Contour drawing

Contour drawing, sweetie, is when you draw the outline of an object, without lifting your pencil or pen from the paper. Imagine drawing the edges of a cookie, like a circle around it, or the outside of a cup. Sometimes, when you draw like this, it might not look like the object right away, but that's ok! The point is to practice looking at the object closely and drawing what you see. It's like tracing with your eyes instead of your hands, and it helps you get better at drawing by training your brain to observe things more carefully.
