What is a Contour Drawing

In this video I explain what a contour drawing is, how to make a contour drawing and also why it will ramp up your drawing skills fast! Plus, I also talk about how to make a blind contour drawing. Blind drawing is probably the best way to drop into a pure drawing mode, and so if you are interested, stay tuned. I also talk about what i think makes a good / versus bad drawing.
