Negative/positive space - cut out-Sukainah Hasan

Negative space is the space around a picture. Negative space forms a specific shape. For example, let's say that you are drawing a tree. In order for it to be negative space, you are seeing how the tree forms or how it's created. This is important, because it helps people understand what makes a tree, an actual tree. I found negative space in my cut out by cutting out what's on the outside of the tree, instead of the inside. Seeing in negative space enhances drawings by it being an example of how to actually draw what you are trying to draw.
