# Line Art Style

> Very few continuous fine lines and generous open space describe key forms with natural turns and a light, elegant appearance.

## About this style

A few continuous fine lines follow the essential turns, while undrawn areas provide separation and breathing room. Small changes in line weight suggest gesture and volume.

Line art describes volume through selective contours, letting empty areas stand for unmarked surfaces.

One carefully placed line from forehead to chin can establish a profile without any skin shading.

### How the style changes different subjects

- **Portrait**: Line weight describes features, hair and folds while color and shaded volume recede.

- **Landscape**: Branches, roofs and terrain form coherent line groups, with density and overlap separating distance.

- **Object**: Object structure takes priority, with line direction suggesting material instead of color.

**Subjects**: Choose profiles, hands, plants, architecture or clearly built objects with a readable hierarchy of contours.

## Reusable style prompt

```text
Describe the subject's primary shape and connections with one or very few continuous fine lines. Let turns feel natural, using restrained line density and subtle changes in weight to suggest volume. Omit secondary details so undrawn areas provide breathing room and structural separation. Create a light, elegant visual rhythm while retaining the most recognizable form. Avoid dense hatching, large fills, and realistic cast shadows.
