Drawing negative spaces

Artists sometimes train themselves to see by drawing the “negative space” around the object. So instead of drawing the face, they draw (look at) the edge of the face where it meets the air. There may be a door jamb behind and still partially visible—how is it cut off from view by the face? So too we can get a closer picture of our life if we look at where it intersects others, contacts with, obscures, or gives light to them.
