Burgener Art

( #draw #artistic #burgener #contour #crosscontour ) In this lecture, we learn how to generate volume by using contours and cross-contours.  Below you will see my results from performing the projects indicated in the lecture.  A good amount of time is spent on how to draw ellipses. ©2018 Artistic Burgener
