NEGATIVE SPACE CUT OUT REFLECTION

Negative space is the empty space around the subject being drawn. I found the negative space in my art piece by realizing that the bird could be the same when flipped after cutting it out the first time. It helps artist to see in negative space because not only does it show skill in what you can see, it also balances and enhances the positive space. Seeing in negative space enhances drawings because it gives you two points of view/perspectives on a drawings. This is important because every piece of art has a story and seeing both the negative and positive is like seeing both sides of the same story.
