Drawing Negative Space Techniques

The video tutorial explains the concepts of positive and negative space in drawing. Positive space refers to the object itself, while negative space is the area around it. The tutorial demonstrates how to use negative space to draw light objects, such as white fur, by focusing on the space around them. It also discusses the application of negative space in complex drawings and design, such as logos, where the space around and between objects is emphasized.
