I used a colored pencil to create this drawing of an eye. As one can see there are numerous and unique lines that make up the image. Compared to other drawing mediums these lines are fine and light. My lines in this drawing are precise and controlled. This means that they are more geometric than they are organic. Most of the lines that I used were curved to show the shape the eye. Pencil lines are great for showing detail and drawing geometric lines.

This drawing of a tree was created using markers. The lines I used were organic and flowing to create the tree trunk and leaf area. Compared to other drawing mediums these lines are thick and heavy. They show bright colors but aren't as detailed as some other mediums. I used heavy lines to fill in where the leaves should be and create some color there. Markers are good for making lines that are bold and colorful.

I drew this image of a hand drawing, along with an eraser and coffee cup using charcoal. The lines that charcoal makes are fairly fine and light, like colored pencils. However, they are darker and good for creating shadowing. Compared to other mediums the lines that charcoal makes are thin and detailed. The lines I used were geometric and created specific shapes. Charcoal is a little more bold and dark than colored pencils and is good for making detailed lines and shadowing.

I used an oil pastel to create this assortment of various lines. As one can see I drew lines that are light, dark, organic, geometric, dotted, wavy, and so on. Oil pastel lines are great for creating color, but are not very detail oriented. Compared to other mediums oil pastels are bold and colorful. They are good for creating vibrant lines. 

This line assortment was drawn using a chalk pastel. I created various types of line that are: curvy, straight, organic, geometric, dotted, shadowed, and so on. Compared to other mediums these lines are vivid, bright, and somewhat messy. Chalk pastels are great for creating colorful lines and shadowing. There are several options with chalk pastels because of the many edges that they have too.
