Tips for Creating Great-Looking Line Art

We collected some practical tips for making the best line drawings. In a word, just keep it simple: you can make the best possible line art if your source photo has a clearly defined subject standing against a simple background.

Choose quality photos

Always start with a high-quality image. The main subject should stand out clearly against the background to avoid unwanted clutter. Avoid using blurry, noisy or low-resolution photos. High-resolution, high-contrast images with a sharp main subject and blurry background (shallow depth of field) work the best.

Pick simple backgrounds

Simple backgrounds work best, as cluttered or overly complex scenes can make the AI struggle to define the main subject. If necessary, crop or edit your image to ensure that the focus remains on the key elements.

Some subjects make better line drawings

Faces, human subjects, architecture and objects with clear contours translate well into line drawings. If your image has detailed textures or too many fine details, the resulting line art may not turn the way you like.
