Cross contour drawing

Op here. I should also mention I did read exercise 3 description. It just says that cross contours is when u look at the figure/object, u start from outter edge and imagine ure touching the form and u should go over the mass/shape of the object horizontaly, to the other edge so it shouldnt be straight line. So my questions are: how much is 1 sheet of drawings and should i first do blind contour drawing and then do cross contour (it doesnt seem logical, since blind contour drawing is totaly off, and drawing cross contours over that will be....weird, but still i need confirmation)?

Anyone? Cmon /ic/ if I dont get a reply i will quit drawing and murder myself. Blood will be on ur hands.

Thanks for your answer. Also, am I only supposed to draw red lines? What about looking at the paper?

lol no the colour doesn't matter and of course you look at the paper
It's about drawing around the form of the object to understand it in 3d space
Imagine holding the object and rolling your finger around the surface. Do that but with your lines

Alright, thanks. Im just confused because in contour drawing exercise he said I shouldn't look at the paper and he didnt say otherwise in this one. Are you sure?

A countour is the flat line around the object seperating the positive shape and the negative shape. In a painting there are no line so this area is just a plane change

Cross contour means you're going across the form with the lines

Blind contour is what you were doing earlier, that's where you don't look at the paper and draw the contour of the image, the outline of the image. That exercise is about learning to see in positive and negative shapes better,

Cross contour is about getting a feel for the form of the object

Contour just means line basically

Okay, I think I understand. But still wonder what the heck does 1 sheet of drawings mean. Anyway thank you for ur time.

A sheet is a piece of paper
It means draw a load of the exercise on the piece of paper
Doesn't matter what size. You could do 1 drawing or 10 drawings on the sheet, whatever you're comfortable with

Got it, thanks.

Does anyone actually do this? Do the lines help you? You just draw over them anyway.
