Contour Lines

Contour Lines

A contour is the line that defines a form or edge ...think of it as an outline of an object. Contour drawing is the place where most artists start, following the visible edges of a shape. The contour describes the outermost edges of a form, and dramatic changes of plane within the form.

'Blind contour drawing' is when contour drawing is done without looking at the paper. Let us try a blind contour drawing.

Contours in map making track across a surface linking points of the same height, so are very different in appearance and purpose to the contours referred to in visual art.

This type of cartographic contour has more in common with an artist's 'cross contours', which are drawn to describe imaginary lines that cut across the form.
