Pure Contour

• Pure contour line drawing is the simplest form of
  linear expression.
• The line describes visible edges of an object.
• If the subject is carefully chosen and oriented,
  a pure contour drawing can have strength, clarity
  and simplicity.
• Surface details such as color, shadow and
  highlight are ignored. Draw only clearly defined
  edges, resisting the temptation to color in
  shadows.
