What is Line?

Creative art begins with creative line. Creative line can only be the line as you see it and prefer to draw it. Projecting literal contours by and artificial means can only result in stifling your most valuable asset- individuality. Draw from copy as you would from life. Have always the courage to draw it yourself.


- Andrew Loomis. 1947

I discovered that there are many ways to create line in order to create an effective image.

  • Quick lines and sketchy marks create a fast paced image 
  • Strong bold marks can create more graphic images.
Using different media -
  • Ink/Paints can create a brushed line - changing the speed of the brush could also create different effects.
  • Fineliner/Pens the effects and thickness of the pen can be almost restricted in the way that they can be used.
  • Thread - the line can be almost textured with this media but it can be used in different ways to create different types of line strengths and textures.
