Positive and negative space



Negative space is the area between and around an image. Look at the white space between the letter "E" and "x" in the word "FedEx". See the arrow? That's negative space. When we draw, we begin by shading lightly the area in our drawing paper. Then we erase the part that's not the outline of our subject in order to reveal it.
