Artists Delete Texture to Restore Balance
The language of pen-and-ink is restricted
compared with that of real scenes. Lines can only
be black, and can't be thinner
than the pen-nib. So
drawing all the texture often gives too much
black. It wrecks tonal balance. The images
below demonstrate this, though in order to
save time, I generated the one on the right
with an image editor's "Make Cartoon" tool
rather than drawing it.
The first image
is from
https://www.booking.com/hotel/jp/brick-house-hurano.sk.html
,
a booking page for the Brick House, Furano.
The second image is derived from it in Gimp: I used
the Cartoon filter and some other processing
to simulate the effect of drawing the house in
pen-and-ink.
