Realistic drawings use lines to translate all visual information to a flat medium. Different types of lines transmit different messages - horizontal lines imply calmness while diagonal and spiral lines suggest movement. Visual textures include natural textures like wood and stone as well as artificial textures that can be used to organize a composition by ordering textures from greatest to least importance to create a focal area or using textures to make some shapes appear heavier than others.
