Negative Drawing Space

1. I see negative space as creating a mirror image. Such as, if I want to have my drawing split in two, half would be light and the other half would be dark. The dark is negative and the light part is positive.

2. The way I found the negative space was looking for the darker shaded portion of the image.

3. Artists seeing in negative space is helpful because you can create images in very different ways and forms. You can have "reverse" drawings with dark on the outside and light in the inside.

4. For me, I think it does enhance drawing. I think this because people always draw positively and seeing it in a negative form shows you can see in different views and can work with things they aren't used to.
