For our first class we were tasked to draw in negative space. I did not really get it at first and was a bit nervous to start drawing in the canteen. When I saw the example drawn in the canteen, I was shocked that I could not make out what he is drawing but it all came alive as he started shading.

Above is my attempt. I am quite disappointed with it because now, I somehow I understand the concept of drawing in negative space where its okay if lines don’t match up to form one complete shape. Because when you fill in the negative space it the eye starts to see the picture even tho not all details are drawn completely.

I’d like to try this again one day to see if I can master drawing in negative space!
