Sorry I am so long getting back to this thread. That is a very interesting example posted above, where the face is modeled in a smeared method, and the rest of the drawing is sketched more linear.
Julianne, below is a drawing (24" x 18") which utilizes lines exclusively in pencil. It had to be quick, as the models were not experienced, especially the baby. I try to make each line final, and make each line count. The line comprises everything - value, expression, everything. It is a very rewarding discipline, but one which takes a great deal of practice. I was taught the technique as a child, but did not value it until I was well into my drawing career.
