Less is more!
Line art in the digital age derives it's power through precise and eloquent control over geometry. Curves and fine details can be crafted to a high degree of precision. Using the computer tool, the illustrator includes exactly what is required, nothing more and nothing less. Almost any subject that responds well to reductive thinking can be interpreted as line art.
Digital computer art can take many other forms such as the highly realistic work in the Realistic Illustration section so generating line art on the computer is a matter of intent.
