![]() ![]() And then it goes immediately from an outline to something 3D which is really really cool, alright? So let's try it, I'm gonna just do it here briefly so you can kind of observe how I might move into it. And that's, in a really simple way, anything that has an egg shape, whether it's a bicep, or an egg, or an apple, or lemon, whatever it may be, you can practice wrapping lines around it to help its dimensionality. And then these cross-contour, they're going around the contour of the object is really what we're gonna practice. (giggles) So you get to see the lines wrapping around, it's really tangible. We're imagining these lines wrapping around the egg, and you're gonna get an egg with a little hair band around it. Right, so it's pivoted away from us and we're imagining all the way around in a sculptural way. Then we might imagine the egg turned away from us in space a little bit, and maybe a line wrapped around it, if it was see-through you could see through the other side. Yeah, but that's fast and that looks easy, but (sighs) right? So how would we do that, let's figure that out. So let's take a look at how that might look. So if we can sort of trace that line, that can help us draw it with dimension. (participants laugh) So this idea of drawing the egg and then imagining an ellipse that goes around the egg, alright? Like imagining a line that wraps around the egg, if you could see it go all the way around, our see-through egg, that would be an ellipse. Alright, it's a nice looking egg isn't it? Yeah. But I'm just gonna go ahead here and I'm going to work with drawing this egg. (giggles) So at home you can grab an egg from the fridge, you can try this. So I'm gonna demo it here for a second then I'm actually gonna give you all eggs, alright? And they're still warm because they hardboiled them so it's kind of nice if you're chilly. But how would that apply to, let's say, drawing an egg? An egg is an egg, right? An egg is an egg when it's an outline of an egg. ![]() So an ellipse is an ellipse, it's like an opening, it's a curve. So, from ellipses, we can start to talk a little bit more about cross contour.
