negative space

Negative space is the space around and between an image. The darker shaded areas on my cut out was my negative space, the positive space was the lighter areas. Artists are visual learners, being able to see the negative space in an image helps them define the object and balances the differences. Seeing in negative space enhances the drawings because you realize that the space around the subject is just as important as the subject itself.
