Line, Pt. 6

What we see as line is actually edge:




We use line to interpret things, even though "lines" as we perceive them do not really exist in nature. This is a revelation when ordinary people decide to do the extraordinary and draw what they see. The result is actually an attempt to trace the edges of things. People who draw, if they stick with it, will begin to develop a quality of line that better describes those edges and how they reflect light, plunge into shadow, soften or corrupt contours, etc.
