Definition of Contour Line
A contour line is a line that follows the outline of a subject, emphasizing its shape and form. In art, contour lines are often used as the foundation for a drawing or painting, providing the structure and details necessary to create a realistic representation of the subject.

Definition of Gesture Drawing
Gesture drawing is a type of drawing that prioritizes flowing movement, resulting in sketchy, fluid lines with less defined shapes than contour drawing. Most gesture drawing uses the human figure as the subject, making it a type of figure drawing.
