Negative Space Reflection
Negative space is the background of any object. If you are drawing a bowl, you would draw the outline of the shape, then shade in any space outside the outline of the bowl. The shaded area is the negative space. In my cutout, I found the negative space by removing the dark pieces of the template, which was what wasn't being focused on in the picture. In my still life drawing, I drew the outline of the shapes the way I could see them. A lot of times shapes overlapped. Next, I shaded in all the areas that weren't occupied by shapes. It helps an artist to see negative space because they can focus on the actual shapes of objects and how important the angle from which they are drawing from is. Seeing negative space enhances my drawings because it helps me understand how to draw things that are behind other objects. Also, it enhances the different shapes that are created by objects.
