a line is not a line it has additional meaning which is bound to it

Well, it's not "bound" to it. One of the more important tasks in art is to learn that any "meaning" of a line, a drawing, whatever, is quite arbitrary and mostly depends from circumstances quite far away from the actual line.

But I think we can end this discussion here and maybe just agree to disagree. As a personal hint: I don't see as much "meaning" in anything as other people seem to do.

Funny--I draw with my eyes open, but my drawings always look as if they were done with my eyes closed.

Hi everyone

Thanks again for the feedback. Looks like this topic has become quite philosphical.

Anyway, I've decided to keep going with this but cut it way back. It'll now be 5 scenes long with 2 backgrounds, 2 characters, no up or down shots and I'll keep the style I've started with. I'll also try to kee it under thirty seconds.

Hopefully that's ok for a first story-project. I'll try to post some updated work soonist.
