• Classifications of Lines


  • Straight Line
  • Horizontal
  • Vertical
  • Diagonal
  • Zigzag
  • Curved Line
  • Crooked or Jagged
• Straight Line


  A straight line is the basic framework of many forms, but it lacks softness and flexibility
• Horizontal


  Lines that show serenity. Horizontals in artwork usually indicate calmness and rest
• Vertical


  Lines that denote action. They suggest poise, balance, force, aspiration, exaltation, dynamism, strength, balance, and stability
• Diagonal


  Look as if they are either rising or falling and have both positive and negative implications. It suggests action, life, and movement
• Zigzag


  These are completed from a mixture of diagonal lines. Zigzags indicate chaos, conflict, and confusion as can be perceived in pictures of war and pictures of most anime characters
• Curved Line


  More technically, there is curvilinear; they are organic and natural and adjust direction regularly. When we illustrate wiggly lines, we are putting together a series of curves that may form spirals and circles. When curved lines continuously move in opposite directions, they form wavy lines that show graceful movements. It suggest subtleness, direction, instability, movement, flexibility, joyousness, and grace
