1. Define negative space in art and explain why focusing on it can be helpful when drawing complex subjects like hands, as demonstrated in the video.
2. The video mentions using horizontal lines to break down large negative spaces into smaller, more manageable shapes. Describe another strategy you could use to simplify complex negative spaces and explain why it would be effective.
3. In the video, the instructor advises shading the negative space rather than drawing lines to define the positive space (the hand). Explain why this technique is beneficial for learning to see and draw negative space accurately.
