Seeing "Form" vs. "Contours"

This is a page from the Andrew Loomis book "The Eye of the Painter" and it explains the difference between contour drawing and drawings with form. It's a concept that I have struggled with for years and am just starting to come to grips with. I have to admit that most of my drawings look like the examples in the left column, but I'm trying hard to think more like the drawings in the other two. I thought that there might be others who have been struggling with these concepts as well so I'm posting this page for their benefit. Does anyone have any additional thoughts or observations on this subject that they'd like to share?
