Line art question

I have heard the term line art thrown around here a few times. What is it? I think I know but I refer to it by a different term. I call it vector art. If I am mistaking please correct me and set me straight.

Thx

Kitiara made a tute for it!
Here it is!

Yeah, line art and vector art are different.

Vector art just refers to anything done in Vector, Line Art refers to… well, read kits excellent tutorial to find out :wink:

I always thought line art = vector art?

hhhmmmmm…its seems they are the same thing in concept and out put. Except if the freehand pencil is used. I think I will stick to vector.,

No because you can have the techy type of vector art as well, which I don’t think constitutes as line art… does it?

i always think of line art as “tracing and coloring in vector”, not vector itself. JMHO

Ren that is what I thought and seems to be the case. I was just curious. I never really use the pencil tool and I thought that maybe was the difference. Since the pencil tool is not a vector tool.

I think whenever you use a vector tool it is vector art. BUt it seems you can use vector tools to make line art so it is the old tomatoe tomato discussion.

3d, we posted at the same time :P! now to change my footer.

I have always considered Line Art a type of vector art…

just to add confusion to the thread…

:beam:

It is one of those… all line art is vector art, but not all vector art is line art deals…LOL.

Just adding more confusion.

yeah, just like all insects are bugs, but all bugs aren’t insects…

:+)

Rev

Yep… all because of those ■■■■■■ arachnids!..lol. They think they are all high and mighty with their 8 legs instead of 6…pff.

You are way too smart to not be in school, young man…

:crazy:

Rev

hehe
where would we be without lost;)

yeah lost, rev it right. you should deff try to go to design school. then you would be like kick arse x50, so you would be like Mech Lost. :beam: that would be so cool…a mech for a mod…

LOL, no, it is just that… well… uhhh… my mental instabilities caused me to want to be an entimologist when I was younger, so I studied bugs a lot… I am strange… I know…

I want to go to design school. When I get the chance I was thinking maybe a vocational school, ya know, since colleges don’t like me apparently :-\

that is why you are so well loved here… Your strangeness…

I went to “vocational school” for design… It is more expensive, but you don’t have to take “Social Economics” and such crap that I will never use, except to argue at cocktail parties (and with Unca Philbo)…

I felt that with a little motivation on my part I could get what I wanted from the instructors they had… I think it worked…

just my experience…

Rev

More expensive? Wow, it is cheaper here to go to vocational school. People tend to consider it not as good as college here though, that is why I didn’t apply to one when I originally applied to colleges.

line art ----> arachnids ------> vocational schools man I love this board.
