I'm always needing or wanting to know the meanings to key words while figure drawing or drawing in general. So here's my little list of key words and meanings;

Negative Space - Negative space in a painting or drawing refers to the area encircling or located behind a positive space.
Proportion - Proportion refers to the correction depiction of all the parts related to each other in shape/form within a realistic painting or drawing. Proportion lends a sense of balance and harmony to a piece of art work one may to decide to distort the proportions within an art work to create a certain effect on the viewer.
Mark (Drawing) - A mark in a drawing refers to an impression on the picture plane, it is often made to create the illusion of something such as an objects surface texture.
