Henri Matisse and Picasso

After i realised what style i wanted to use i then wanted to look at line drawings by famous artists as all the components in my animation i shall hand draw by just using the outline and then later filling the spaces with wallpaper patterns and textures. I have mentioned Gustav Klimt already as he is one of my all time favorites and as i thinking about him i remembered some of the other artists i looked at in my first year of college in a life drawing lesson that i also really liked.
Similar to Klimt Matisse is another artist who used line drawings however they differ in the way that Matisse only uses one confident line to represent the shape of the female form. I think in this way the images are more simplistic and less realistic but again the movement, cures and grace are shown with just simple lines. But looking at the technique i want to use this style would be no use as there are too many gaps within the lines which gives an almost unfinished look and since i am adding detail into the spaces and shapes leaving gaps within the original drawing would make things a lot more difficult and messy.
Again this technique i wouldn't be able to use for the same reason as Matisse but i still wanted to mention Picasso's line drawings as again they are so very different. This time it is not a portrait, Picasso has looked at animals and used ONE line to create a shape that we as the audience would recognise. These images are so fantastic i think even though they are so unbelievably simple, they almost look like small illustrations for a children's story.
