Clear Line Style

Origins

Clear Line Style is a visual style characterized by clean, simple lines and minimal details. It originated in the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1950s, and gained prominence through the works of Belgian comic artist Hergé, known for the famous series 'The Adventures of Tintin'. The style became famous for its precise and uniform lines, absence of shading or hatching, and emphasis on clear storytelling and visual clarity.
