A contour line in art is wherever you find an edge in an object. Generally, it can refer to the outside edges of objects. Hold out your hand. Do you see the outside edge of your hand and how it separates your hand from the background around it? This is a contour line.
Contour lines are also the edges of shapes in an object. Do you see how this shoe is actually made up of little shapes? There are contour lines around each shape.
If you can find the lines and shapes that make up objects you can draw anything.
