What is single weight line illustration?
Single-weight line art (AKA Monoline) is a design trend that uses lines of one thickness to build stunning, geometric, patterned artwork. This beautifully balanced style is paradoxically simple and complex at the same time as it uses detailed patterns in large areas as if they were blocks of color and tone. Getting the balance right can be a tough challenge, and this is where the Line Art Lab comes in:
I spent countless hours developing the brushes and patterns together so that they work in harmony. I’ve ensured that the range of resources is diverse and expansive so you’ll always find the right tool for creating art in this decorative and intricate style.
Save yourself hours with this handy design shortcut and start drawing single-weight line art in Affinity today!
