Line Art Illustration - The Most Beautiful Drawings You'll Love

At the time I was creating this drawing of the Beauty On The Rose, I was studying nude forms. The woman's figure and anatomy. Within the wide collection of line drawings I've done, I also created a sub-series of line drawing nudes.

However, each piece was accompanied by abstract lines, patterns, and shapes that made the artworks even more appealing as well as fun.

Leading the viewer's eyes is something all of the line drawings do, without much structure in thought or pre-meditated planning. I believe creating art should be random and without boundaries sometimes.

The line drawing "Afrocentric Escape" is a drawing I created inspired out of urban beauty and the Afrocentric women. In this piece, I also include elements inspired by Japanese art and culture.

My favorite Japanese artist is Katsushika Hokusai. Ever since first discovering his waves paintings series, I have been fascinated by the Japanese artist's works. His perspective, point of view and subject matters were all aspects of his works I admired.

What made Hokusai my inspiration was his use of line in his ink paintings. He is the most famous Japanese artist and his most popular work is "The Wave".

The Day of The Dead is a holiday celebrated in Central and Southern Mexico during Winter on November 1st and 2nd. I've always found this a fascinating holiday; not because I celebrated it, but because of the visual elements and designs the Mexican people used in creating their Sugar Skulls and Day of The Dead face painting.

"Esmeralda" is a beauty I drew with some facial designs illustrating her as a character who could participate in a Day of The Dead festival. Dia De Los Muertos is the name of the holiday in Spanish. Dia De Los Muertos Face Art by Letty Llerenas on Pinterest is a board I found online, that I used for reference to help me understand the movement/flow of the designs in this specific style of face art.

Huda Kattan is the top beauty influencer on Instagram and Beauty Blogger and creator of Huda Beauty; a makeup line for nails, lashes and more beauty products. I stumbled upon her page on Instagram after posting a photograph I captured with the Hashtag #beauty. With millions of followers on Instagram, that's pretty much celebrity status for a makeup artist and makeup designer.

The line drawing of Huda Kattan took 12-16 hours to created. The line drawing illustrated Dubai, makeup and beauty materials as well as Arabic and Persian culture. It is one of my most intricate drawings when it comes to detail line artwork.

I've created a few circle coloring pages you can also download for free.

This line drawing of the "Lost Beauty" is another variation of the "Esmeralda" drawing I created in honor and representation of the Day of The Dead holiday. Upon first glance, not everyone notices the complete facial structure and figure in this drawing. In a way, the curved lines make the drawing almost a puzzle and adds mystery to the artwork.

"Drips" is a drawing I created at a co-work space in Council Bluffs, Iowa. At the time, I drew this line drawing I was residing at an artist residency called the Harvester Artspace Lofts.

The building was an old factory renovated to be a living space for artists of all kinds. Whether you are a musician, visual artist, photographer or even hair stylist all artists were welcome.

Drips is a commercial space that was attached to the residence building; Tres Johnson the founder and creator of Drips, would serve coffee or tea for donations and allow artists to come network, showcase their art with monthly art themes and DJ some good music in the space. I was sitting at Drips one day and brought my drawing paper and book; this is the drawing I created one of the days I stopped by at Drips.

This nude drawing was fun to create. The artwork was intended to produce a natural feel for the viewer's experience. The female body and figure is such a beautiful sight to gaze at because of the line movement and curves, similar to a flower. Flowers are shaped in so many ways that you could say each flower if a creation of beauty itself.

I don't think I've ever heard someone say I think flowers are ugly or unattractive. Although I guess the woman is a living organism with lungs and blood, why should a woman be viewed any less than the beauty a flower carries. In a way, this was a poetic thought and vision painted visually through line art.

"Line Tease" was created around the same time as "Locked Mystery". For a short period, I created many small nude art pieces. In a way, I was binge drawing nudes. Growing up as a child another thing I kept my eyes away from was nudity and thought even nude art was uncomfortable to look at. Of course growing up and experiencing the world your mind develops and expands.

It's crazy to think that some people will look at this drawing even as adults and still feel the way I felt as a child...uncomfortable. However, art has no limits and art is an expression. Art is beauty; the human body is a thing of beauty.

The "Misunderstood Butterfly" is imperfect. This butterfly drawing was done free-hand with no ruler or measurement tool other than plain eyesight. Therefore, the drawing is not perfect; I thought I would give it the name "Misunderstood Butterfly" because it is not perfectly symmetrical and is full of flaws in its creation by its creator.

Being misunderstood also correlate to being imperfect. ​
