Drawing a Day Week 2, Day 1, Negative Space

Complex forms and subjects can sometimes be more easily managed by careful observation of negative space - the area in-between objects. Check out Mike Sibley's discussion of negative space as he leads you on an adventure to draw grasses. Make sure to have paper and pencil handy to work along with his tutorial.

Try some negative space sketching in your notebook. It's fun and very accurate.
