Artist's tip (Trace it in the air): Zigzag = sharp points, wavy = smooth bumps, spiral = winds round, dotted = gaps, straight = no bends. Horizontal = lying flat, vertical = standing up, diagonal = slanting. Feelings: horizontal calm, vertical strong, diagonal moving, zigzag excited, curved gentle.
