Learn to break down objects into their basic elements and shapes, see their edges, notice positive & negative space & learn about perspective. Blind contour drawing can enhance your understanding of how to render what you are looking at in a realistic manner, quickly. Learn how to add convincing shading to objects based on light direction and contour, so your drawings won't look flat.
