Imagine you're drawing a cat, but instead of filling in all the parts, you just draw the outline and leave everything else blank. That empty space is called negative space, and it helps make your cat look more like a real cat. It's like giving your picture some breathing room so everything stands out better.
Examples
- A picture of a chair with only the outline drawn, you can still see the shape because the empty space around it helps define it.
- Leaving big areas blank in a drawing so everything else looks more important.
