Cut Out Project

Negative space is the space that is not the focus of the piece. Which means, if you are drawing a chair or flower, it is everything that id not that. Negative space can be very detailed or very simple. In my piece it is the tree that is the focus of the piece. As you can see the negative space and focus space are two different colors. the space in between the branches, everything behind the tree is negative. Seeing in negative space helps an artist to see what you are really trying to focus on, what in the piece is important. I think seeing in negative space does make the piece go hard because it is so profound. However, I think both negative space art and non negative space art both are good for different reasons. I don't think either necessarily enhance your drawing more than the other.
