Line art character ideas
Picture a character rendered as single-weight black line on white: black on pure white, no fill, one continuous elegant contour, a mood that reads minimal and refined. That is what the Line art style does to characters on this canvas.
Start the Line art character with a full-body standing pose with a readable silhouette. Add the outfit, the props, the personality and the world they come from, and stop there; over-describing fights the Line art look. For Line art characters specifically: say "single continuous line" for the sparsest possible drawing.

Where it shines
- Framing that works: a full-body standing pose with a readable silhouette, so the Line art treatment has room to breathe.
- The Line art palette (black on pure white, no fill) suits characters that should feel minimal and refined.
- Because of one continuous elegant contour, Line art characters read best with a clear silhouette.
- Where a Line art character ends up: logo concepts and tattoo ideas, with the character as the hero.
