Presentation by Bernard E. Richardson, Master Teacher & Visual Arts Educator.
Contour lines are the outlines of shapes, representing 2D views of 3D objects.
Contour drawings capture essence through shape, form, and texture, varying in detail.
Four techniques: Blind Contour, Continuous Line, Cross Contour, Modified Contour.
Various tools can be used, including pencils, pens, markers, and charcoal for different effects.
Examples of contour line drawings and resources for further study.

- 2. CONTOUR LINE DRAWING •What is a Contour Line? • Contour means ‘outline’. • A contour line is simply an outline drawing of the edges of a shape or object. • It is a continuous line drawing where the artist draws the outside edges or contours of the object.
- 3. CONTOUR What is aContour Line Drawing? • A contour line drawing is a type of art that uses these lines to create a two-dimensional representation of a three- dimensional object or scene.
- 4. CONTOUR Contour Line Drawing •The purpose of a contour line drawing is to capture the essence of a subject by emphasizing its most important features, such as its shape, form, and texture. • A more complex contour line drawing shows more detail with the use of interior lines to create detail. • A simple contour line drawing has clean, connected lines focusing on the shape of the object.
- 5. Types of ContourLine Drawing There are four different techniques used for drawing using Contour lines: 1. BLIND CONTOUR A Blind contour line is created by drawing an object while looking ONLY at the object and Not at the paper.
- 6. Types of ContourLine Drawing 2. CONTINUOUS LINE CONTOUR A Continuous contour line is created by drawing an object without lifting the pencil or pen from the paper. Done using one long continuous line. This technique can be done 100% blind or you may look at your paper..
- 7. Types of ContourLine Drawing 3. CROSS CONTOUR LINE Cross contour lines are created by drawing parallel lines across the subject following its form. Used to make an object appear three-dimensional and is often used in figure drawing.
- 8. Types of ContourLine Drawing 4. MODIFIED CONTOUR LINE The artist looks carefully at the edge of the object and occasionally at the paper while drawing. Look at the paper to place your pencil when starting a new line. Drawing is done slowly using one continuous line while capturing as much detail as possible. Multiple lines may used instead of one line.
- 9. Drawing Tools usedin Contour Line Drawing Contour line drawing can be done using several mark making/drawing tools such as: Different grades of pencils can be used to create different tones. Hard pencils (H pencils) make lighter lines while the soft pencils (B pencils) make darker and bolder lines. • Graphite pencils • Coloured pencils • Drawing pens • Markers • Charcoal • a brush.
