 SPACE
Space is the distance or area
between, around, above, below, and
within things. Even though your
drawing is two dimensional (having
length and width), you will be able to
make it appear three-dimensional
(having length, width, and depth) by
using different techniques, like the
following:
1. OVERLAPPING

Put one shape on top of

another.
2. SIZE

Far shapes are drawn

smaller while near shapes
are drawn bigger.
 3. FOCUS

Put more details on

closer objects and
fewer details on
distant objects.
 4. PLACEMENT

Far shapes are drawn higher

while the closer ones are
drawn lower.

 LINES
Lines will help you
show movement of the
person or persons you
are drawing.
CONTRAST OF TEXTURES
Can also help your audience or
viewer feel and understand the
person or group of people that
you draw. You can do this by
drawing different lines lines
going in the same direction or
criss-crossing each other, lines
that can be near or apart from
each other like a pattern, as
well as dark and light lines.
CONTRAST OF TEXTURES
Using contrast of textures will
also help your audience see the
details of your drawing. Since
people have unique features,
shapes will help you form their
facial and body features.
 BALANCE
To arrange the elements so that
no part of the work seems
heavier than the other parts.
