Some more adventures in learning how to draw from actual drawing books. There are a lot more pages like this, but nothing particularly interesting. I drew a sweet potato for a couple pages. Please, reign in your disappointment for missing that one.
Anyways, this drawing exercise is where you put lines around the contours of an object to better depict it's three dimensional shape. The one of my little Lugia figurine is my favourite, it looks like those weird green scan line figures they do in TV shows when a computer is showing a model of something. Other objects shown include a cork, a sweet potato, an eraser, chapstick, a pencil sharpener, a wiimote, and a stitch marker for knitting (shaped like a little strawberry).

These contour lines are usually something you wouldn't draw in the first place on a "real" picture. They're something you visualize in your mind as you sketch something out, like invisible mind lines. It helps you better represent your drawing as a believable 3D thing, rather than flat lines on paper. Doing this exercise is a good way to build up that inner sense.
