Linear Artwork. Linear perspective is a drawing technique that gives the illusion of depth. While lines demonstrating a mathematical precision and edge can be found in figurative works emphasizing linear perspective as well as classical architecture, such forms are generally found in abstract art, design, and architecture.

Create line sketches to learn how to draw and grow your skills in other styles of art, like graphic design. A straight line can hold profound meanings under the right circumstances and the proper artistic inspiration. Though linear things might seem too organized to be inspiring, the right artist can make them mesmerizing and even quite emotional.
