In reading the first chapter of Stewart's text, I am amazed because I had no idea that there was so much emphasis on line width, length, etc in the design of a piece of art. But based on the examples in the book, I can see what a difference it makes on where the audience's eye is carried. One piece I particularly liked is Dugald Stermer's portrait of Bertrand Russell. It would be really neat to add texture like this to a picture in photoshop.
Yeah, very true, sometimes nothing beats getting out a pencil and drawing it across a piece of paper or parchment, even how amazing Photoshop is.
