A line is usually made visible by the fact that it contrasts in value with the surface on which it is drawn. Line: contour lines; hatching and cross-hatching; gestural lines; implied lines; and expressive lines. Line is a mark made by a pointed tool Ñbrush, pencil, stick, pen, etc. and is often defined as a moving dot. It has length and width, but its width is very tiny compared to its length.
