What is negative space?
It's very important in drawing and in simple terms it's the space between objects. It contributes to good composition.
Examples would be the space between the limbs of a tree, the area between the legs or ears of an animal or the space between an arm and the body. It is the space or spaces between things and it can be an aid in getting your drawing right.
Try drawing something with limbs or legs or anything that protrudes from its basic form. Now compare the space between the limbs with the space between the limbs of the subject you are copying. It should be the same. If not, correct it and you'll have your drawing.
