7-Lost and Found Contour

Lost and found Contour is having impartial and incomplete lines that your brain allows you to finish around an object with the colors and shadows light creates. 

Even tough in this picture of the woman you can see her face the outline of here body is lost but can be finished by knowing what normally a body should look like even though it is incomplete.

6-Line as Value

Line as value refers to the lightness and darkness in a picture. The shadows the lines create around objects. Also referred to as contrast.

In this picture of own I used hatching and other shading techniques to show depth and shadows that are created by the veins and muscles in the arm and hand.

5-Gesture Line

Gesture Lines capture more the motion or action of the object rather than the focus and perfection of it. The lines seem more sketched out and rigid instead of being a single line creating a complete object.

In this picture the gesture lines shows the movement in the dancer and captures greatly the action in the objects movement.

4-Contour Line

Contour lines connect around a figure, usually curves, make a focusing and outlying shape that make the viewer focus around an object.

The main outline around Goofy with his shirt, hands, face, and hat are all the same value. Contour lines form the shapes that make it obvious objects such as the cartoon Goofy.

3-Line as Emotion

Depending on the line it can make you feel differently just by the way it makes a certain shape or the way it curves and moves in the piece.

This picture depicts frustration with the wild, slender lines. The jaggedness and mess they create confirm the work of art to be very crazy and hectic making it come across as frustration.

2-Line Direction

Directional lines allow paintings to have horizons with "horizontal" lines, "vertical" lines allow separation in piano keys, but diagonal lines a bit different. They cross the canvas or page a bit different. They bing your eyes to focus on an object or away from something. Bringing objects to life or detailing.

In this picture the lines create an interesting scene and make your eyes run across the page like wild fire. The lines add life to the picture horizontal and vertical lines can not.

1-Line As Shape

Line as shape, the basic and very simple can also be complex. Its the starting point of almost every work of art. Lines make the shapes you see in art pieces. 

The picture above is very detailed with lines that make shapes. Colors are absent in this drawing, which let the lines really "pop" and tell the story instead of color.
