The Gallery: Line


Drawings (continued)


A wiggly, almost trembling line was used throughout this still life drawing, which animates the objects drawn and gives them
great character. There is a clear feeling for the speed with which the drawing was executed. The similar line, which changes
from light to quite dark and heavy, is used to create a different local color or tone in each object, and at the same time, it lit-
erally ties all of the objects together.
