Language of Line - the 3rd course in the Drawing Laboratory
Here's what most artists don't realize: Every line you draw serves two functions. The first is obvious: describing what you're drawing. The second is invisible yet powerful: expressing emotion and connecting with viewers. Most artists accidentally communicate emotions they never intended.
Here's the paradox: when you outline a subject, you're drawing something that doesn't exist in reality. There are no lines around objects we see - yet this is exactly how we communicate through drawing.
Your line quality works like tone of voice - it communicates emotions whether you intend it to or not. Learn to control this "non-verbal" language of drawing.
What you'll learn how to do:
-Create lines that evoke specific emotions and ideas
-Use contours to make subjects appear truly three-dimensional
-Draw textures so convincing viewers can almost feel them
-Express time and motion through mark-making
-Develop your personal drawing style through intentional line choices
"I want to teach you how to activate your lines - how to use them to create a compelling experience on the page." - Brent Eviston
How you choose to draw your lines determines your unique artistic style - this course teaches you to develop that intentionally.
Transform your drawings from mere representations into powerful emotional experiences.
