    How to use "Contour line" in context?

    There is no mystery behind contour line, it's a simple drawing tool used to create a 3-dimensional outline of objects. If you have been using a pencil to sketch lines on paper, then you are using contour line.

    First, find the two points that define the outline of the object you are drawing. These points will be the centers of your contours. Next, start drawing small, consistent curved lines outward from the two points. The closer the line is to the center of the contour, the thicker the line will be.
