Negative Space!

Negative space is the space of the shape before you draw the actual object. Basically, it is the background of the object.

For the stool drawing and the drawing that looks like a bottle, there was a orange background was orange. For these pictures, I just drew the parts that were orange (which were the shapes in the picture). For the cut out picture I just cut out the grey part around the picture (which was the background).

It helps an artist because it makes it easier to draw the picture. If you see the negative space and draw it, then you only have to draw the outside shape.

Seeing negative space helps drawing. As I have said before it makes it easier because it doesn't take much time. You can keep moving and its a flow to your picture because there is really no stopping your flow.
