The Language of Line: Discover the Power of Lines in Drawing!

In this lesson, Brent Eviston takes you on a journey into the heart of lines in art. Lines are the most fundamental building blocks of drawing, yet they have the power to evoke deep emotions, create texture, and define space in a way that transforms a simple sketch into a powerful work of art.

This video is part of Brent Eviston’s “The Language of Line” course, the third in his Drawing Laboratory series. This class builds upon the fundamentals learned in earlier classes, "How to Draw: A Beginner’s Guide" and "Drawing in 3 Dimensions." Check out the full class here: https://skl.sh/40qbWiS
