✏️ Lines, Texture & Shading

Lines can be straight, curvy, thick, thin, or zigzagged — each type of line can express a different feeling in art.

Texture is how something looks like it would feel, such as rough, smooth, fuzzy, or bumpy, even though the paper is flat.

Shading adds light and dark areas to a drawing, which makes flat shapes look round and three-dimensional.

By combining lines, texture, and shading, artists can make their drawings feel more real and interesting.
