Negative Space

​Negative space is the space through and around the objects being drawn. Negative space is any space in the picture that is not the object.

I was able to draw the negative space in my drawing by looking at the space around the object and through the open space of the objects that I was drawing. I found the t negative space  in my cut out by looking at the shading in the drawing and also thinking that if the object was sitting in front of me what would be the actual object and what would be the space around the object.

It helps the artist to see the negative space because it gives the picture a realistic look. Also it helps the artist to see that if the wanted to shade some areas in their drawing it helps them to see what to shade.

See in the negative space enhances the drawing because it shows that the drawing is not just 2 dimensional it gives the object a very detailed three dimensional look.
