Swan- The Intelligent Picture Book

Swan- The Intelligent Picture Book

Brain Tester Series

ByP. S. Remesh Chandran

Single line drawings are rare. Even those who attempted them in the past have not cared to publish them. After going through publishing companies’ catalogues, it was seen, no book of intelligent single line drawings has ever appeared in print or digital media. A few such drawings from my archives are here, all done by me before or during the Millennium Year 2000. They are here in the original form. Single line drawings are very easy to create. They are also called one line drawings. They are created with a single stroke of hand. Because of this simplicity of theirs and also due to the limitations in their scope for expression, they are usually created with pencils, pens, quills, crayons and wax, not with painting brushes. Painting brushes need more strokes of the hand to finish a picture. They are generally meant to create depth in pictures through colours. Paintings enjoy much freedom of movement of the hand. Single line drawings cannot take that much freedom or privilege. In a single line drawing, the movement of human hand is limited to one single stroke and therefore the movement of the mind also is, or may be, limited. It is this limitation, barrier, that we break or bridge by incorporating script in single line drawings. Paintings do not have script in them, generally.
