Negative Space

Negative Space is space that is not defined or is the opposing color to the colors being used in the portrait. I found negative space by filling in anything that was not colored in a filling in the other half of it. It helps an artist to see negative space to know if/when they should add something to a picture and where it should be added. Seeing negative space enhances a drawing to really see every aspect and decision that the artist ade, and where your eyes should focus.
