After the presentation of Kim Ngan group today – topic : Less rain – more warmth, I found line art is very interesting. Line art is images which is a combination of straight and curved lines in a plain background. It is a simple images without the changing of shade or hue. Line art is create mostly to represent a 2D or 3D dimensional objects.
Line art is used to emphasize form and outline of an object so it is very effective to highlight some characteristic of an object.

We can use Photoshop to design our own line art. It is very interesting. You can follow these steps to create your own line art.


1. Step 1:
Open Photoshop and import your picture.
It is better with picture that consists many lines and has simple background.
I use this image to show you example.

2. Step 2 :
After importing image, open filter ==> blur ==> smart blur
In smart blur, choose Quality : high , Mode : edge only

Radius : 47.2 , Threshold : 22.7

You can improve the effect by adding some weight to this image.
Open Filter ==> Artistic ==> cutout.
In cutout, you can make the line thicker by changing the value of levels, edge simplicity or edge fidelity
