Modigliani portrait line work

Modigliani’s line is calm and decisive.

✒️ Contour Logic

  • Long, unbroken arcs.
  • Minimal accents.
  • Rhythm over detail.

Economy of means; abundance of presence.

✏️ Line Exercises

  • Trace contour in one breath.
  • Reduce detail; keep rhythm.
  • Emphasize elongation for presence.
