Quality of Line

As I've hoped was demonstrated as well as experienced in class, lines can carry themselves in a multitude of ways. They can be expressed in varying degrees of strength or fluidity, softness and violence, ambiguity and precision.

Quality of line can be thick/thin, soft/hard, long/short, straight/curved, scribbled/precise, and the list goes on. How you differentiate those lines is an experience in patience and practice, as well as understanding the subtlety of their usage.

Below are some works by some well known artists that demonstrate a diverse range of line qualities.
