# Abundant Line Illustrations Giacomo Bagnara Forms Images Using Plenty of Dashes and Marker Strokes By Jason Soy | Published 2011-11-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/giacomo-bagnara References: [brwnpaperbag](http://www.brwnpaperbag.com/2010/12/09/giacomo-bagnara/) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/elbluo/page2/) The drawing style of Giacomo Bagnara can easily be replicated by anyone. In fact, his illustrations often resemble the [doodles of bored students](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boring-canvas) scribbling away in their notebooks while they should be paying attention in class. The difference, however, is that Bagnara pushes this [simplistic art style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simple-drawing-ideas) to extremes, crafting [line drawings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vector-to-hand-drawn) so meticulous and intricate that his architectural studies background is readily identifiable in his work. Perhaps the best example of this is in his illustration of two overlapped male faces. Rather than simply shading in his canvas, Giacomo Bagnara chooses to define shadows and value using varied lengths of lines. Though this increases Bagnara’s work load, it also produces a visually unique effect that’s simultaneously messy and crisp. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Abundant Line Illustrations:** Opportunity to create unique and visually striking illustrations using varied lengths of lines. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Leverage the trend of abundant line illustrations to create innovative artworks and designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Realistic Sketch-Reflective Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawing-series.md) - [Playful Doodle-Emblazoned Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-cox.md) - [Retro Drawing-Inpsired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-project.md) - [Graphic Motif Textiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-jacquard.md) - [AI Line Drawing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pencilify-ai.md) - [Image Stylization Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodlify.md) - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md) - [Structured Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowchart.md)
