  • Lines can be drawn using different media like pens, pencils, sticks, or technological tools
• Vertical lines:

  • Straight up and down lines that are perpendicular to horizontal lines
  • Suggest height and strength because they extend towards the sky and seem unshakeable
• Horizontal lines:

  • Straight lines parallel to the horizon that move from left to right
  • Suggest width, distance, calmness, and stability
• Diagonal lines:

  • Straight lines that slant in any direction except horizontal or vertical
  • Suggest movement or lack of stability
• Zigzag lines:

  • A series of diagonal lines joined at ends
  • Can convey action and excitement, as well as restlessness and anxiety
• Curved lines:

  • Lines that bend and change direction gradually
  • Can be wavy or spiral
  • Convey feelings of comfort and ease, as well as a sensual quality as they remind us of the human body
• Length in lines can be long (tall, strong, far) or short (small, cute, close)
• Width in lines ranges from thin (delicate, slim, lightweight) to thick (strength, weight, power)
• Weight in lines indicates the continuous change of width, capturing energy, movement, and suggesting when one object is in front of the other
• Texture in lines defines how smooth or rough it is, varying it by changing working medium (e.g. marker to charcoal or digital brush)
• Style of lines can be continuous, dotted, dashed, or implied

  • Continuous or implied lines are useful for leading the viewer's eye in a specific direction
  • Dashed or dotted lines are great for patterns, energy, and drawing attention
