Negative Space

Negative space is the background space in an image. It is the space in between the image. 

I found the negative space in the cut out picture by thinking the opposite that I normally would. I found the negative space for the drawing by shading in the whole page and then erased the stools and the other parts of the image.

It helps an artist to see negative space because it is good to see all parts of the image not just what is in front of you.

Seeing in negative space does enhance the drawing because when you see the negative space it brings out the normal drawing.
