simple lines
Clean, spare marks
Simple lines are basic, unadorned strokes in drawing or design—straight or gently curved marks without embellishment or complexity.
The term appears in art instruction and visual composition: Start with simple lines before adding detail.
Simple lines suggest clarity and directness, whether in a child's sketch or minimalist architecture.
