LINE ART
Line art or line drawing is any image that consists of distinct straight or curved lines placed against a
background, without gradations in shade or hue to represent two-dimensional or three-dimensional objects.
Line art can use lines of different colors, although line art is usually monochromatic. Line art emphasizes
form and outline, over color, shading, and texture. However, areas of solid pigment and dots can also be
used in addition to lines. The lines in a piece of line art may be all of a constant width, of several constant
widths in, or of freely varying widths. Line art may tend towards realism or it may be a caricature, cartoon,
ideograph, or glyph.
Before the development of photography and of halftones, line art was the standard format for illustrations
to be used in print publications, using black ink on white paper. Using either stippling or hatching, shades of
gray could also be simulated. One of the most fundamental elements of art is the line. An important
feature of a line is that it indicates the edge of a two-dimensional (flat) shape or a three-dimensional form.
A shape can be indicated by means of an outline and a three-dimensional form can be indicated by
contour lines.
Line art is usually single-color drawing (such as one made with a pen or pencil) with little or no solid areas,
and no shading effect other than cross-hatching. Line art, unlike a painting or photograph, can be printed
without conversion to a halftone image. Line art is also called line copy or line drawing.
