How Do I Make Line Art in Photoshop?

Last updated on January 25, 2023 @ 4:45 pm

Line art is a type of digital image that is created by using a vector graphics program like Adobe Photoshop. Line art is usually created by either scanning in a hand-drawn image or by drawing the image directly in the program.

To create line art in Photoshop, first open a new document and select the “Pencil” tool from the toolbar. Then, draw your image directly onto the canvas.

To add color to your line art, use the “Paint Bucket” tool to fill in areas with color. You can also use the “Eraser” tool to remove unwanted lines or colors.

Once you have created your line art, you can style it further by adding text. To do this, select the “Text” tool from the toolbar and click on the area where you want to add text.

A text box will appear where you can type in your text. You can then use the “Bold” and “Italic” buttons to style your text, or you can use HTML tags like <b> and <i>.

Line art is a great way to create simple, yet stunning images. By following these steps, you can easily create your own line art in Photoshop.

PRO TIP: Line art is a delicate process and if not done correctly, can result in a mess. Make sure to have a steady hand when using the pen tool and be precise with your lines. Also, avoid using the eraser tool too much as it can distort your work.
