I finished a sketch version of the line homework assigned our first day of class, the only day I've been able to attend so far. I plan to do the fullscale homework soon, but since I was unable to manuver such a large scale paper I decided that I should at least start my sketchbook off with some lines practice. Thats what the sketchbook is there for right? practice.
The process of drawing lines "like a upc code" really taught me alot about lines in general. The pressure, angle, and speed were very obviously huge factors in the thickness and quality of the lines formed. I also realized that keeping my pencils sharp really helped in keeping the lines clean. After about an hour of making these lines, I fell into a sort of pattern, and had to step away and come back to it to make it look balanced and not just methodical.
