What is a Sketchbook? Upside Down Contour, Opposite Hand and Blind Contour Line Drawings, Contour & Cross Contour Line Drawing, Viewfinders and creating Thumbnails
​

Demonstrating your control of Line Weight demonstrates your physical and mental control over the tool in your hand. Facilities are only developed with practice, practice and more practice to your touch and mechanical positioning.
There are endless ways to make line marks and involve endless adjectives to describe them.

We often associate line with the following: Direction, Contour, Cross Contour, Volume, and Emotion. Pending on how many lines you make and how you make them can further enhance all of this characteristics through control of the "weight" of the line, the edges of the line, and the directions of the lines. 
​

It does not matter if your goal is to Master your line work or simply Improve your line work--- the Control of one's Line, only comes from INTENTIONAL and MINDFUL Observation and Practice.
