Negative Space Drawings

​What is negative space?
Negative space is the empty space that is around and inside the drawing, it is whatever the drawing isn't.
Explain how you find the negative space in your cut out and your stool drawing.
First, the entire shape has to be drawn. From there, you shade in all of the empty space that the shape does not cover. Everything you shade in is the negative space.
Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings?
I think it does, because it is a simple concept yet it allows the drawing to be seen in a completely different way, and it looks really cool.
Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?
It helps the artist because it lets the artist see the entire drawing as a whole, including the space that is not being used. It could inspire unique ideas to alter the negative space, and gives the artist a different perspective that could give the artist a whole different view on future projects.
