Line Rider; Online Drawing Game


http://linerider.com

One of the tricks I try to use to help my students learn to draw is to have them imagine they're flea-sized astronauts hiking along an alien terrain, while looking at an object or a model and concentrating on it's edges, and simultaneously record the contours as they observe them.

I just saw this website featured on a McDonald's commercial of all things. It is really fun and their sledder is a lot like my flea.

Watch one of their movies first to learn how to do it first.

I think every high school drawing student should try it to improve your perception of edges and contours! Have fun, but beware, it's addictive.
