Aaron Block's Negative Space

A. Negative space is the area around an object. When drawing negative space you shade the area around an object as oppose to the object itself.

B. To find negative space in my cutout I cut out the object, in my case the house. For the drawings I quickly outlined the objects then shaded the area around it.

C. It helps to see in negative space because you can see the shapes in an object better than if you were to just look at the object as it is.

D. It does help drawings to see in negative space. You can see the shapes in objects which helps drawing the object as a whole.
