Implied lines are lines that are not necessary drawn in an image, but are lines created by values, colors, textures or shapes that guide the eye though the piece of artwork. An implied line can be created by the edge of a shape, the joining of two edges (like where the wall meets the floor), the direction a person is looking or pointing, or directional light. If something causes you to follow a linear path through the scene, consider it an implied line. Implied lines are also know as invisible lines because they cannot be seen, but people follow them anyway when looking at a picture. Certain recognizable actions or ideas in an image can create invisible lines.
