Implied Line in Drawing

Terry Tripp Art

Guided Notes

9 min

Key concepts students will learn:

  • An implied line in illustration involves not having every single line attached, allowing for open space.

  • Instead of drawing every line, artists leave empty areas that our minds fill in, creating the implied line.

  • Leaving lines open can improve artwork by making it more interesting and dynamic.
