# Congruous Contour Drawings The 'OneLine' Series by Eemz is Intricate and Minimalist By Josh Triantafilou | Published 2012-05-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oneline References: [lostateminor](http://www.lostateminor.com/2012/05/08/brilliant-one-line-drawing-series-by-eemz/) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/eemz) The 'OneLine' Series by Eemz is minimalist, yet enticing. Many people like to doodle to pass the time or procrastinate, but few people know how to render interesting drawings with this method. In this series, the Cairo, Egypt-based [mixed media](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes) and illustrator drew a slew of figures using only a [single line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pencilify-ai) in each piece. Eemz's technique seems to effortlessly effect a minimalist aesthetic. Indeed, the figures she portrays are in many cases silhouettes. By not giving away too much, she maintains a casual but composed feel. Still, the artist's one-line technique produces much intricacy. Creating entire drawings from what is essentially a single stroke of a pen, pencil or brush almost makes this inevitable. It is this [intricate, yet minimalist aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition) that makes Eemz's work so distinct. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Art:** There is an opportunity to create disruptive innovations in the art industry by exploring minimalist art trends like Eemz's OneLine series. - **Single Line Drawing:** Single Line Drawing technique can be utilized to create innovative and unique designs in graphic design and product packaging. - **Silhouette Illustration:** Silhouette Illustration trend can be imbibed in various fields like marketing, branding, and advertisement to create a distinctive style. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** Minimalist Art trend can bring in innovations to fields like art exhibitions, painting, and sculpture. - **Graphic Design:** Single Line Drawing trend can be incorporated in graphic design to give a fresh perspective and add uniqueness to designs. - **Advertisement:** Silhouette Illustration trend can be used in advertisement and branding to create memorable and distinctive visual identities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Asymmetric Linework-Based Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle-collection.md) - [Easy Drawing Inspiration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simple-drawing-ideas.md) - [Minimal Sculptural Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trace-line.md) - [Simplistic Line-Formed Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptures-furniture.md) - [Sculpted Rhythm Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kinetic-collection.md) - [Collaborative Sculptural Art Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neojomon-biomorphic-fantme.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [AI Line Drawing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pencilify-ai.md) - [Structured Art Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowchart.md)
