Analysis of “Lines and How to Draw Them”
Summary:
This article discusses different presentations for line styles drawn on the screen. The first style presented covers the analogy of a brush and paper, seeking to mimic the environment of a paper. The stroke varies based on pressure and the amount of “ink” left in the brush. A user must actually “dip” the brush to get more ink.
Another style called “skeletal strokes” that use predefined imagery and then create strokes based on the deformation between the predefined strokes and those of the user. I assume the user traces the example image. Allows for creative expressive as their different techniques for what to do with the “flesh” made by the two strokes (prefined and user)
The last style maps many parameters to the stroke information (pressure, light/dark, etc.) to also vary the thickness of strokes and shade the shape made, based on the thickness of the stroke at a region. Interesting idea.

Was looking for different information, but still an intersting read…
