Negative spaces

In this session on 1/10/14 I had to draw the negative spaces in an arrangement of objects.  The materials I used for this were a 4b pencil and and A1 piece of paper.  To do this I had to draw the shapes of the negative spaces making sure I got the perspective and proportions right.  After I'd drawn all the negative spaces, I used a dark tone to shade in the negative spaces which made the positive spaces on my drawing stand out and began to show the shapes of the object in the arrangement.  I really enjoyed doing this technique and found it quite easy to do. The areas of my work I could improve are to try and work a bit faster to try and complete my picture.  To extend my skills I am going research other negative space drawings. 

Research

From the research shown below I have discovered new techniques and ideas for negative space drawing.  I really like the different objects and items other people have used such as the bike and the bird in the tree.  I also really like how some artists have drawn patterns and even used a selection of colours to show the negative spaces making the positive spaces stand out more.
