A line drawing depends upon a line to indicate the contours of forms and features in a drawing. Cartoons and comic book drawings are good examples of these. They were widely used in books and gazettes (along with etchings) for a couple of centuries, due to their compatibility with early printing techniques. (See Charles Dana Gibson, Thomas Nast and Franklin Boothe) A tone drawing (more prevalent during and since the Impressionist movement) relies upon shades of any monochrome scale (usually grey or umber) to describe and convey the volume of a form. Some of John Singer Sargent's charcoal studies are good examples, as are the powerful drawings of Kathe Kollwitz.
