  Ligne claire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ligne claire, literally meaning the clear line, is a style of drawing pioneered by Hergé (creator of Tintin).
The Ligne claire style achieved its highest popularity in the 1950s, but its influence started to wane in the 1960s and was seen as old fashioned by the new generation of comic book artists.
Contemporary use of the ligne claire is often ironic.

 Ligne claire
Ligne claire, literally meaning the clear line, is a style of drawing pioneered by Hergé (creator of Tintin) in the late 1920s in which the image is simplified to its primary components and shadowing is never used.
The drawing lines tend to be quite long and seamless, making the comic strip highly readable but also sometimes excessively simplistic.
Nowadays it is commonly agreed that its heyday has probably been and gone.

 ARTS LIBRARY @ YALE
If Hergé is considered-accurately, moreover-to have invented the ligne claire (clear line) in the bande dessinée and to have promoted the genre to the rank of real art, it must be recognized that he found the ligne claire only after long and painful effort.
Material constraints: the use of poor-quality paper and the expense of color printing, and then, during the war, the restrictions on paper and thus the reduction in the number of square centimeters that could be used for bandes dessinées "forced" him to create a kind of design that sacrifices everything but the essential.
Although the composition of Construction d'une Ligne TGV still tries as much as possible to conserve the autonomy and equivalence of the two poles, the project was soon felt to be too classical by the two authors.

 Other Voices 1.2 (September 1998), Amanda Macdonald, "In Extremis: Herge's Graphic Exteriority of Character"
It is also crucial to point out the role of the marked outline-the graphic foundation principle of la ligne claire and the most exterior element of the iconographic personage-as the only irreducible factor of character formation in Tintin.
Hergé's clear separtion of the iconologic and the iconographic (another construal of la ligne claire), including the refusal of any fiction of speech emission, makes characterfulness reside equally in image and word, in the two types of elemental character (even though basic character formation is performed by the iconographic).
The bodily form is not the seat of the verb-and as any Tintin reader knows, the word, and particularly the dialogic word, is much more creatively exercised in Les Aventures de Tintin than in The Adventures of Superman.

 Alphabetti Fumetti: H is for Hergé
There are two immediately discernible reasons for the success of the strip.
The first is Hergé's ligne claire drawing style, which quite literally means 'clear line', in which every person and object in the panel is drawn with the same strong lines, rather than having one element emphasised over another.
The second reason is Tintin himself, a character of unimpeachable moral values and instinctive heroism, ideals that Hergé took from the Boy Scout movement he loved as a child.
