The objects with the outlined contours is another kind of Line icons. Such design elements are called contour drawings. There are items without some strict outlines which are rather some hint than actual contour of line icons. They are often known as gesture drawings. Skilled designers usually use such type of drawings because they're able to repeat the outlines of the object right after seeing it. It is not a complete piece of art but rather a sketch which usually needs 20-30 seconds to be drawn.
Another technique is adding some halftones as well as shades to the object with the help of short lines and crosshatching. Their frequency and pencil pressure can be different. This variety creates more three-dimensional look to the object. It helps to develop awesome Line icons, logos and buttons.Also lets get information on open lines. It's such type of the lines where the dots not combining the singular elements. The lines can be gesture-like, parallel, contour etc. as well. The curves that are essential for creating complex line shapes are called Bezier curves in computer graphics. These curves are real helpers in creation of the vector shapes such as line icons, unusual buttons etc. Today computer technologies reached such a level when it becomes possible to reproduce the same designs or just build new shapes that based on some older ones. The fantastic thing - you can do it without extra efforts and time. Furthermore, it is possible to go back to the previous adjustments due to the history panel. So you do not have to design Line icons from scratch after you have made some mistakes.
