4. Contour Line


Contour drawings are simply a type of outline of an image with lines to convey the image exactly and simply. There is no exaggeration with contour as it just follows the outlines of the picture or scene.
This drawing is created by the outlining of a shell, a sailboat, a palm tree and birds. Not on of the objects is exaggerated by extra lines. It is simply a sketch of what the artist was viewing and an outline of the objects. What you see is what you get.
