Directional Lines

9/17/2021

 
Picture
Unlike expressive lines, directional lines are very precise. Lines should all be the same thickness.
These lines look as if they are bending and overlapping. This is not "free" drawing like expressive lines but calculated, constant, and even.


  • Start anywhere on your paper.
  • Move in a certain direction. stop and begin in a new direction
  • Keep lines in a group the same distance apart
  • Try to go in every direction at least once
  • Use a ruler to create crisp, clean lines
  • Add color

Picture
This sketchbook assignment you will need to sit and listen. You will draw the sounds around you. You may use a pen or pencil. The entire page must be covered. This may take you several days worth of sounds to fill the page. The images you draw should reflect the sound. I will need to see at least 20 different sounds. If you hear a lawnmower you can draw the lawnmower and have a line that shows the variety. Like the examples above. Use your imagination.
