Seeing with Line: A Contour Drawing Lesson

In this lesson, I’m creating a contour drawing using colored pencils and markers, focusing on slow observation and continuous line. Instead of drawing what I think I see, I’m paying attention to edges, shapes, and movement — letting the line do the talking. Contour drawing isn’t about perfection or realism. It’s a practice in presence. A way to quiet the noise and truly look. If you ever feel disconnected from your drawing or stuck in your head while creating, this simple approach can bring you right back to the page. ✨ Create and explore with me inside Next JEN Art Academy 👉 https://www.jennymanno.com/jenny-mann...
