Contour-Line Drawing Techniques

The video tutorial explains three types of contour line drawing techniques: traditional, continuous, and blind contour drawing. Traditional contour drawing involves capturing the outline and shapes of a subject while looking at it. Continuous contour drawing requires the artist to draw without lifting the pencil, resulting in a single continuous line. Blind contour drawing involves drawing without looking at the paper, enhancing hand-eye coordination and observation skills. Each technique offers unique benefits and challenges, encouraging artists to practice and improve their drawing skills.
