Slow looking
- A contour line 轮廓线 traces the edges of a form — outer edges and inner ones (folds, creases, overlaps).
- Contour drawing trains eye-hand coordination through slow, careful observation.
- Match the speed of your eye along the edge to the speed of your pencil.
缓慢的观看
- 轮廓线(contour line)沿形体的边缘走——外边缘，以及褶皱、折痕、遮挡形成的内边缘。
- 轮廓素描通过缓慢仔细的观察训练手眼协调。
- 让眼睛沿边缘移动的速度和铅笔的速度一致。
Cross-contour lines mainly describe ____. · 交叉轮廓线主要描述 ____。
They travel across the surface, showing how the form swells — volume. · 它们穿行于表面之上，展示形态如何膨胀——体积。
Select all · 所有 things a contour line may follow. · 选择所有轮廓线可能跟随的对象。
Contours follow edges of every kind; colour is not an edge. · 轮廓线跟随各种边缘；颜色不是边缘。
Blind contour
- In blind contour 盲画轮廓 you draw without looking at the paper at all.
- The result looks strange — that is fine; the exercise trains pure observation.
- Do it daily: hands, shoes, faces. Five minutes is enough.
盲画轮廓
- 盲画轮廓(blind contour)是指作画时完全不看纸面。
- 画出来的结果很奇怪——没关系；这个练习训练的是纯粹的观察。
- 每天画：手、鞋、脸。五分钟就够。
Contour, blind contour, or cross-contour? · 轮廓、盲轮廓还是交叉轮廓？
Sort each activity by the drawing exercise it describes. · 按每项活动描述的绘图练习对其进行排序。
In blind contour drawing you may glance at the paper occasionally. · 在盲轮廓绘图中，你可以偶尔看一眼纸张。
Blind contour means never looking at the paper — that is the whole exercise. · 盲画轮廓线意味着永远不要看纸——这就是整个练习的目的。
Cross-contour: over the surface
- Cross-contour lines 横截轮廓线 travel across the form like latitude lines on a globe.
- They describe volume, not edges — the drawing bulges where the form bulges.
- Overlapping contours create instant depth: a near edge covering a far one says "closer".
横截轮廓：越过表面
- 横截轮廓线(cross-contour lines)像地球仪上的纬线一样横穿形体。
- 它们描述体积，不是边缘——形体鼓起的地方，线也鼓起。
- 轮廓的遮挡立即产生纵深：近的边缘盖住远的，就是在说"更近"。
One edge passing in front of another — an overlapping contour — instantly creates . · 一条边缘穿过另一条边缘前方——重叠的轮廓线会立即产生。
Overlap is the fastest depth cue. · 重叠是最快的深度线索。
Match the exercise to what it trains. · 将练习与其训练的目标匹配。
Each contour exercise targets one skill. · 每种轮廓线练习针对一项技能。
Contour drawing fails when you draw what you remember (a symbol of a hand) instead of what you see (this hand, these folds). Keep your eye on the subject at least 80% of the time.
当你画记忆（一个手的符号）而不是画所见（这只手、这些褶皱）时，轮廓素描就失败了。至少80%的时间眼睛要盯着对象。
Draw your non-drawing hand in blind contour: eye crawls along the knuckle, pencil crawls at the same speed; a wrinkle turns inward — the line follows it inward. The page shows a tangled but observed hand.
用盲画轮廓画你不拿笔的那只手：眼睛沿指节爬行，铅笔以同样速度爬行；一条皱纹向内转——线也跟着向内。纸上是一只缠乱但被真正观察过的手。
Contour follows edges slowly; blind contour trains the eye by hiding the paper; cross-contour travels over the surface and describes volume. All three are observation exercises first, pictures second.
轮廓缓慢地跟随边缘；盲画轮廓藏起纸面来训练眼睛；横截轮廓越过表面、描述体积。三者首先是观察练习，其次才是图画。
