What is Thangka line drawing?

Line drawing is the basic means and main feature of Tibetan traditional painting. Tibetan traditional art, regardless of architecture, sculpture, painting and technology, is closely combined with the application of lines, especially painting art, which almost always relies on lines from the early days. Line drawing kung fu has shown a high artistic level in ancient Tibetan rock paintings, painted pottery patterns and cliff stone carvings. By the maturity of Tibetan art, this traditional stunt with thousands of years of history has reached its peak. Line modeling is undoubtedly the most important artistic feature in Tibetan traditional painting. This is especially true for western art aesthetics which emphasizes volume and light and shade. In fact, it is to draw with a pencil first.
