'Contour Drawing'

Looking back at the first week on figure drawing I found how difficult it was for me to draw the whole figure in under a minute because of the fact that I can't seem to get away from the detailed/ starting with the out line of the body. How ever through I did enjoy the 30 minute contour drawing that we did on Thursday because I got to slow way down and study the lines and where they go. Slowing way down on drawing is very helpful to me because it allows my eyes to concentrate better. I have some idea what contour drawing is but never really knew the rules of it. What I found in my contour drawing of the male's knee is that I sometimes let one line to control my drawing instead of having multiple types of flowing lines. I feel that this has helped me get an idea on how I want to approach the contour shell drawing.
