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 ---

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 😉 ---

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. ---

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 ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

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. ---
