line drawings
Pen-and-ink artwork
Line drawings are images made with lines alone, without shading, color, or tonal variation.
The technique reduces subjects to their essential contours and edges: The architect's line drawings showed the building's basic structure.
Line drawings appear in technical illustrations, comics, and fine art, valued for their clarity and economy.
