Negative Space

Posted by Kenny Nguyen in Art - 9 - Hull on

​ Negative space is basically the shape of the object. The object is not seen, meaning that only the space around the object is seen. It forms the object because of the negative space around the object. I found the negative space in my cut-outs by doing an outline of it. It is quite complicated to explain the process of this. But I did a trace of one of the object to another paper, so I can find the negative space. Drawing the negative space of the stool is basically drawing the shape of the stool. The space around the stool are the negative space.

This also helps an artist to see the negative space when drawing, so that the artist can see the exact shape of the object that the artist is drawing. It can also enhances the drawing because you have the exact shape of the object already through negative space.
