Ben Day process
The Ben Day process is a printing and photoengraving technique for producing areas of gray or (with four-color printing) various colors by using fine patterns of ink on the paper.
See Line art and Ben Day process
Caricature
A caricature is a rendered image showing the features of its subject in a simplified or exaggerated way through sketching, pencil strokes, or other artistic drawings (compare to: cartoon).
Cartoon
A cartoon is a type of visual art that is typically drawn, frequently animated, in an unrealistic or semi-realistic style. Line art and cartoon are visual arts genres.
Color
Color (American English) or colour (British and Commonwealth English) is the visual perception based on the electromagnetic spectrum. Line art and color are graphic design.
Contour line
A contour line (also isoline, isopleth, isoquant or isarithm) of a function of two variables is a curve along which the function has a constant value, so that the curve joins points of equal value.
Curve
In mathematics, a curve (also called a curved line in older texts) is an object similar to a line, but that does not have to be straight.
Drawing
Drawing is a visual art that uses an instrument to mark paper or another two-dimensional surface.
Engraving
Engraving is the practice of incising a design on a hard, usually flat surface by cutting grooves into it with a burin.
Glyph
A glyph is any kind of purposeful mark.
Gustave Doré
Paul Gustave Louis Christophe Doré (6January 1832 – 23January 1883) was a French printmaker, illustrator, painter, comics artist, caricaturist, and sculptor.
Halftone
Halftone is the reprographic technique that simulates continuous-tone imagery through the use of dots, varying either in size or in spacing, thus generating a gradient-like effect.
Hatching
Hatching (hachure) is an artistic technique used to create tonal or shading effects by drawing (or painting or scribing) closely spaced parallel lines.
Hue
In color theory, hue is one of the main properties (called color appearance parameters) of a color, defined technically in the CIECAM02 model as "the degree to which a stimulus can be described as similar to or different from stimuli that are described as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet," within certain theories of color vision.
See Line art and Hue
Ideogram
An ideogram or ideograph (from Greek 'idea' + 'to write') is a symbol that represents an idea or concept independent of any particular language. Line art and ideogram are graphic design.
Illustration
An illustration is a decoration, interpretation, or visual explanation of a text, concept, or process, designed for integration in print and digitally published media, such as posters, flyers, magazines, books, teaching materials, animations, video games and films. Line art and illustration are graphic design.
Image
An image is a visual representation. Line art and image are graphic design.
Ink
Ink is a gel, sol, or solution that contains at least one colorant, such as a dye or pigment, and is used to color a surface to produce an image, text, or design.
See Line art and Ink
Line (geometry)
In geometry, a straight line, usually abbreviated line, is an infinitely long object with no width, depth, or curvature, an idealization of such physical objects as a straightedge, a taut string, or a ray of light.
See Line art and Line (geometry)
Lineography
Lineography is the art of drawing without lifting the pen, pencil, or paintbrush that is being used.
Melencolia I
Melencolia I is a large 1514 engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer.
Old master print
An old master print (also spaced masterprint) is a work of art produced by a printing process within the Western tradition. Line art and old master print are visual arts genres.
See Line art and Old master print
Peafowl
Peafowl is a common name for two bird species of the genus Pavo and one species of the closely related genus Afropavo within the tribe Pavonini of the family Phasianidae (the pheasants and their allies).
Perspective (graphical)
Linear or point-projection perspective is one of two types of graphical projection perspective in the graphic arts; the other is parallel projection.
See Line art and Perspective (graphical)
Photography
Photography is the art, application, and practice of creating images by recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.
Printing
Printing is a process for mass reproducing text and images using a master form or template. Line art and Printing are graphic design.
Realism (arts)
Realism in the arts is generally the attempt to represent subject matter truthfully, without artificiality and avoiding speculative and supernatural elements.
See Line art and Realism (arts)
Rembrandt
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), usually simply known as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
Screentone
Screentone is a technique for applying textures and shades to drawings, used as an alternative to hatching.
Shading
Shading refers to the depiction of depth perception in 3D models (within the field of 3D computer graphics) or illustrations (in visual art) by varying the level of darkness.
Stippling
Stippling is the creation of a pattern simulating varying degrees of solidity or shading by using small dots.
Technical illustration
Technical illustration is illustration meant to visually communicate information of a technical nature.
See Line art and Technical illustration
Vanishing point
A vanishing point is a point on the image plane of a perspective rendering where the two-dimensional perspective projections of mutually parallel lines in three-dimensional space appear to converge.
See Line art and Vanishing point
