How to Do Echo Line Drawings
by Unicia Buster
Materials: Fountain pen, drawing paper
How to:
Start with a
line, the ends of which go the edge of the paper. The line needs to be wavy,
curly, zigzag or a combination. Straight lines will not give an interesting effect.
Echo this
line by outlining as close to the original line without touching it. Do this on
both sides.
Continue
echoing the newly drawn lines until the paper is filled. Make sure to fill in
any loops created.
Our lives are like
these lines. We each have one beginning (birth) and one ending (death). But
rarely are our paths in life straight. We experience times when things are
hectic, or when we feel like we are going in circles or when it’s smooth
sailing. Along the way, we interact with others whom we affect or we have an
effect on. Sometimes people we meet have a negative effect, thereby creating a
ripple in our own line. These drawings can be made elaborately or simple. Try
adding shapes, color or multiple lines. Like in life, sometimes you have to see
where the road takes you.
