What's in Premium?

Master the use of cross contours to bring depth to your drawings. This lesson covers what cross contours are and their importance in creating three-dimensional forms. You'll learn to visualize forms using techniques like imagining ant trails, apply cross contours to simple and complex shapes, and understand how the curvature and spacing of these lines affect the perception of depth. The lesson also teaches how to avoid common mistakes, use center lines effectively, and prepares you for shading with cross contour lines.

If you’ve ever struggled drawing things that feel 3 dimensional, cross contours can be a game changer for you. They're super helpful for constructing forms, shading details, and they help you get better at visualizing your drawings in 3D. In this lesson I'll explain what they are, how to control the spacing and curviness accurately, and common mistakes to avoid.
