Line art is a line drawings with just black ink. The artist should always create the line art at 100% size because it is easier to see the details and also if you want to resize it for print or web you can use the image editing software that will allow you to resize your image without losing any quality.

Here are few tips for building better line art:

Don’t copy from another artist : You have your own style so don’t try to copy from an other artist. Just be patient and keep practicing on your own.

If you are drawing a face, try to put some emotions in your face, make it more alive, but don’t forget that they must look like they are real not just like a doll.

Make sure that you have the right equipment to work in order to avoid frustration and a bad mood, if you aren’t comfortable with what you are using then change it until you find something that feels right.

Try different ways of doing things, there is no such thing as a wrong way because everyone’s way is their own; experiment with different mediums like pencils, markers, and crayons.

Make sure that when you finish one piece of line art that it looks good before moving on to the next piece of work

I’ve noticed that I have a huge difference in what I look for when I am looking to purchase a piece of line art, and what I prefer to do within my own work.

I tend to look for something that is well-defined, clean, and with a good sense of edge control. I want to be able to go back and look at the line art and understand exactly how the artist has created the form.

I prefer a more painterly style with less defined edges. I want people to be able to see the brush strokes, textures, and other aspects of the process within my work.

I’ve discovered that there are many ways to create line art. And also realized that because of each artist’s unique working style, some ways are more advantageous than others. However, there are also some universal things that can be done to make just about any drawing better!

Here are a few hints that might help you out on your next project.*”

Many of the best line artists have already outlined the key elements of creating great line art. The following is a compilation of their advice and my own tips.

Creating a Strong Outline

The first thing you need to do is create a strong outline. This will help with all the other steps, because it gives you something to work with as you add shading, texture and detail.

Tightly Drawn Shading

A lot of beginning line artists skip this step because they’re trying to save time, but in the end they wind up having to redraw lines everywhere because they didn’t leave any room for shading. Don’t be afraid to add extra lines where needed; one or two extra lines here and there can make all the difference between a line art that looks like a messy sketch and one that looks polished.

* Consider using hatching instead of solid black for your shading, if that’s an option for your artwork. Hatching creates what’s known as an illusion of depth, which can help distract from the fact that your forms are basically just lines on paper (for more on this subject, see Understanding 2D Space).

Texture Detail

When adding texture detail, it can help to think about how light would reflect off of your object. If you have

Line art is a great thing to start with if you are working on your drawing skills. It is also great to work on if you are working on your coloring skills. There are many reasons that it is great for both of these things. The main reason is that when you are working on line art, you need to know what your lines are going to look like before you color them in. This means that any mistakes you make will be made in pencil and therefore will not show up once you start to color your piece of work.

The other thing that is great about line art is that because the emphasis is on showing the outline of an object, it really helps improve your drawing skills. For example, by using line art you will learn how to properly shade the inside of an object so that it has depth and dimension. This can be a very difficult thing to do when drawing something freehand, but with line art you’re able to focus entirely on getting the outlines right first before adding in details.

This website was created because there were no other resources around the Internet teaching people how to create good line art. The best resource I found was some tips from Deviantart and Google searches for “Line Art Tutorial”. Unfortunately, none of those resources helped much at all

Let’s get this straight. I’m saying that it is a skill, not just a talent that you either have or don’t. So if you want to draw better, and know how to follow instructions, I can teach you how to do it. But if you are a perfectionist and need everything done for you, well, sorry.

But I can show you some tricks and techniques on how to draw better line art. I’ve written about some of these before in other posts on my blog , but have never written an overall post on them ( so here it goes ).*

So let’s get started with the first tip: Align Your Drawing with the Grid (or paper)

This is one of the first and most important things to learn when doing line art. If your drawing isn’t aligned with the grid or page, then your lines are going to go all over the place and your drawing will look like a mess!

I’ll start by showing you this image:

As you can see, the lines don’t line up with the grid or each other. The top red lines are supposed to align with the bottom red lines, which themselves should align with the small black grid lines.

The same applies to aligning your pencil with the grid

These are my notes from making a comic page, which I hope will help you make your own.

I’m not an artist, but I’ve been drawing since I was in kindergarten. And if you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that you can draw better than I can. That’s the best reason to start, and the main thing I can tell you is that it’s hard work and it takes practice.

You need to practice different skills than you do for writing: anatomy, perspective, foreshortening, coloring, etc. What you don’t need to do is spend years learning how to draw pretty women (unless you want to.) What makes good comics is storytelling ability, not skill with a pencil. You should be able to draw stick figures. But once you’ve got that down, work on telling stories with pictures instead of words. That’s what comics are about.

A good way to start is to copy comic book artists who have a style that appeals to you: David Finch or Mike Deodato Jr on superhero comics; Chris Ware or Adrian Tomine on alternative comics; Yoshihiro Tatsumi or Taiyo Matsumoto on graphic novels. They all have different styles but they’re all really good at telling stories with pictures

It is where the story is revealed and the main theme of the story is told. It should be the most exciting place in your work, but it can also be the most difficult to write.
