Illustration: One-line

A loose, energetic style: a figure in mid-action drawn as one long wandering black line, with colour laid underneath as offset patches, as if a second print colour slipped. It suits upbeat product moments (launches, sprints, flow, celebrations) where an interior scene would be too heavy. Use illustration-halftone-line for black open line with dot-screen tones and no colour. Use illustration-ink-sketch for a wobbly brush outline around a cute critter. Use illustration-two-colour-brush for thick brush outlines with solid black shapes and one mint ink.

Extracted from a set of 42 original design-and-coding cards in 14 styles; the three cards in examples/ are this style's shipped cards.

The look in one sentence

One continuous black line draws the whole figure, and flat coral, periwinkle and white patches sit behind it, deliberately knocked 2–6 px out of register.

Palette

Measured from the three examples (1x renders): paper 87–89% of the pixels, ink about 2%, white patches about 3%, periwinkle 2.3–3.7%, coral 0.8–2.8%.
