Overview and quickfacts

Contour drawing is a type of drawing that uses line to create the illusion of three-dimensional form on a two-dimensional surface. The artist starts with a basic outline of the subject and then adds details, using a continuous line that never crosses over itself. This type of drawing can be used to create both realistic and abstract images.

The art style is also known as: Outline drawing, silhouette, profile, shadow

Detailed Description

Contour drawing is an approach to drawing in which an artist uses continuous line to capture the subject’s outermost edges. This technique can be used to create both two-dimensional and three-dimensional drawings. Famous artists who have used contour drawing include Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Pablo Picasso. Some famous paintings that have been created using this technique include the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. Contour drawing is a great way to capture the essence of a subject without getting bogged down in details. This makes it ideal for sketching and for creating quick, expressive drawings. It can also be used to create more detailed and realistic drawings, as the artist can slowly build up the drawing by adding more and more lines. If you’re interested in trying contour drawing, start by finding a subject that you want to draw. It can be anything from a simple still life to a complex landscape. Once you have your subject, start by drawing the outline of the object with a continuous line. Don’t worry about getting the lines perfect – just focus on capturing the overall shape. Once you have the basic outline, start adding details. If you’re drawing a person, you might add lines to indicate the eyes, nose, and mouth. If you’re drawing a landscape, you might add trees, buildings, and other features. Just keep adding lines until you’re happy with the drawing. Contour drawing is a great way to create quick, expressive drawings. It can also be used to create more detailed and realistic drawings. So why not give it a try?

The positive Future

What an AI system (OpenAI – textdavinci002) tells us about a positive future of humans and AI:

So what does the future hold for humans and machines? It is likely that both humans and machines will continue to play important roles in the future. Machines will become increasingly capable and will be used for tasks that are too difficult or time-consuming for humans. Humans, on the other hand, will continue to provide the important advantages of empathy, common sense, adaptation, and creativity. As a result, the future looks bright for both humans and machines.

The Negative Futrue

What an AI system (OpenAI – textdavinci002) tells us about a negative future of humans and AI:

It’s possible that we’ll find a way to coexist with intelligent machines. We might, for example, use them to do the boring and dangerous jobs that we don’t want to do. We could also use them to augment our own intelligence, making us smarter and more productive. But it’s also possible that AI will eventually outcompete us, leading to our extinction. After all, if intelligent machines can do everything we can do, but better, then why would anyone want to keep us around? Only time will tell what the future of human-AI relations will be. But one thing is certain: the rise of artificial intelligence presents a grave threat to the future of humanity.
