LINES
Line is the base of any illustration. It is the first visual feature in art and
the most flexible. A line can be found in a piece of art in several
respects. It may serve as an indicator of form, pattern, shape, structure,
development, depth, distance, rhythm, motion, and various emotions.
TONE
Tone is the color's lightness or ambiguity. An artwork can be
modified to change its expressive character with its tonal values.
COLOR
Color is the most important visual factor of our emotions. Therefore, we
use color to construct an artwork's mood or atmosphere.
PATTERN
Pattern consists of the repetition or echo of the elements of a piece
of art to convey a sense of unity, harmony, contrast, rhythm, or motion.
In art, there are two main models: natural patterns and human-made
patterns. Natural and human patterns may be either regular or irregular,
organic or geometrical, structural or decorative.
TEXTURE
Texture is an art's surface appearance — the ruggedness or smoothness
of its material. In two ways, we perceive texture: optically (by sight) and
physically (by touch).
FORM
Form is the intrinsic dimension of a structure and the space in it.
