Pure contour is basically outline drawing. The line describes visible edges of an object; this is the simplest form of line drawing. Many artists enjoy using pure line in their drawing, and clean contour drawing is an essential skill for cartoonists.

You will need: 30 to 45 minutes, an object to draw, some paper and a pencil, and possibly an eraser.
