Line is a simple but important element in drawing. It can be straight, curved, short or long. It can also be horizontal, vertical, diagonal or curved. In fact, line is a complex tool. It can use to divide space, define a form, describe contour or suggest direction. Lines project psychological impact according to their direction, weight, and the variations in these characteristics. Different lines can represent different moods. Moreover, combination of different kinds of lines can form different patterns. Sometimes these patterns are quite interesting.
In the tutorial, I was taught to draw different lines. I found it was not as simple as I thought. Drawing a line needs many techniques. Although drawing short lines is quite simple, drawing long lines and curved lines are very difficult for me. I will continue to practice drawing different lines in other to improve my drawings because lines are crucial in drawing.Â
