Black and White Problem

The Zen concept that a bowl's essence is the part that is "missing" corresponds to the graphic concept of negative space.

Apply this idea by using only negative shapes to interpret of the following subjects visually:

Clouds
Whipped cream
Moby Dick (Whale)
Jaws
sugar
Vanilla
Ice-cream cone
Steam.

The subject themselves should not be drawn; only the surrounding negative space and possibly areas in the shadow should be addressed, and only in black. As a design consideration, the images may be cropped to show only a portion of the subjects. Use the smaller areas for preliminary drawings and larger areas for final executions.
