I used to struggle with this question and many minds collided in forums and threads about it. Why do humans have line art? When you look at reality you don't see lines around people and things. Someone once said that cartoons have been "trained" into our minds, since we see them from a young age, so we adapt to it, like a visual language. Another person simply states that line art is easier and childish. Someone might cry out that we just make the lines because it's easier to color, and the ultimate goal is always color. The wild guesses and comparisons fly out in the dozens. And who doesn't know, a lot of people in the pop-audience today just want "better graphics" and "more realistic everything", in a manner that's both insulting and arrogant to be honest. Some say that cartoons are childish, and the painterly/realistic style is where the "mature" people hang out. Well. I disagree. What could be more childish than "wanting to be more mature"? : P I like line art. I always
