The variety of lines or compositional choices you make in your designs make a strong impact on your work. If you draw a line in a particular fashion it can express a mood or an emotion you are experiencing.
Expressive Lines: Convey emotion based on their character and weight. This type of line is often found in Abstract Expressionist works, but expressive lines can also be used to punctuate an idea or emotion in representational works.
Think about an emotion you have experienced. What did it feel like? Does it fill you with RAGE or with a deep sense of calm. Are you relaxed with no worries in the world or feel really anxious and need to get away quickly? How could these feelings be represented in line form? What would an Angry line look like? What would a happy line look like?
Try to use the variety of lines in all of your designs and specifically whenever you are trying to have the viewer feel something from and be moved my your work.
