The basic outline shapes are square, rectangle, circle, triangle, star, and all polygonal shapes (hexagon, octagon, etc.). In the realistic and hyper-realistic paintings the outlines are also very subtle, it is said that the outline does not exist in nature or reality. The black outlines are very subtle and the type of brush fades it. Monet painting, London Parliament at sunset. The lines fade under the painting, with atmospheric effects, and even sometimes, purposefully breaks made to break the line. It´s used in the Expressionists and strong styles. Heritage (herencia), by Matt Sesow, is a painting with strong outlines on the characters. This outlines are clearly visible and distinguished. Thin white lines are defining the outlines of each silhouette, the man and the crocodile, and thanks to these outlines the work is better understood. These silhouettes are very strong shapes, but as they are so close, the crocodile and the man are almost together in the same shape. The figures are limited by the contrast with the background. This is a work very interesting about the visual outline.

Drawing outline full#
The silhouette is the full form that can be drawn or cut thanks to a delimiter and clearly visible contour. We will determine whether the stroke is more or less thick, more or less bounding and closed, or whether it will be discontinuous, for example. The length or measure of a contour is called perimeter, used especially in mathematics and technical drawing By limiting the shape, the lines isolate this shape into the space or the composition. The visual outline is the line or group of lines that define a shape or figure.
