In art, there are three types of lines which may be used. There is Actual lines which are as they seem, are present in the drawing. An actual line may be curvy or straight, thick or thin. Implied lines are usually formed or represented with dots or dashes (- - - - / . . . . . . . . . ). Even though the dots or dashes may not touch, they "imply" there there should be a line there. And the third line is one used every day, is the psychic line. When we are looking at anything there is a psychic line connected from our eyes and what we are looking at. When we want to show someone something, we may point at the object, which is another form of a psychic line.
My drawing consists mostly of thick and thin actual lines. There are some places where the lines are not continuous so they could be considered an implied line. When I wanted to make an area of the drawing flow differently the lines would go in a different direction. When I wanted an area to be darker in value, I would use heavy lines or more lines. I used some crosshatching for darker shadow areas, and tried to stay with the actual original flow of the lines which were cast upon the still life in class.
