Learn how to draw using negative space to make your drawing more creative. This is the fourth art tutorial in my series on How to Draw Creatively and this one concentrates on the importance of negative space. Using an unusual teak chair, I demonstrate, step by step, how to sketch the chair before scribbling in the negative space with a biro.
Once complete it's amazing how your brain will still 'see' the chair yet there is simply no detail on it whatsoever. It is very important to recognise the value of negative space in your drawings and sketches. Giving value to negative space in your art work will enhance your drawings and paintings.
This art tutorial is aimed at students studying GCSE art and design students wanting to develop their art, drawing and sketching techniques, together with beginners wishing to develop their drawing skills further.
