Question:
Sorry if this is obvious, just saw a reference to comic book art as
line art and I had never heard the term (line art.) I read a little
bit about it on Wikipedia. Thought I'd ask here to see.
Answer:
-Some are. Some aren't. Line art doesn't do the third dimension. Once
you start adding shading and gradient colours, it ceases to be line
art. At some point in their creation, practically all comics are line
art. Best examples of line art comics would be BONE, CEREBUS, and SIN
CITY.
-"Line art" refers to solid black and white art that doesn't need a line
screen to print - so no grays (unless they're "tone sheets" - fields of
black dots that simulate a gray) and no colors. It's really a
pre-press/printer's term. Most comics are still "line art" that has
color added. Painted or heavily computerized art would not be line art.
