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 (darkness) or hue (color) 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 drawings), of several (few) constant widths, or of freely varying widths. Line art may tend towards realism, or it may be a caricature, cartoon, ideograph, or glyph.
