Ligne Claire

General
Yesterday, whilst talking with an art school friend, I was educated about something called Ligne Claire. If, like me, you never took any art classes in school, it's basically a flat-colour technique that was created by the bloke that drew the old Tin Tin comics.
My friend was helping me out with something I was doodling, and she was under the impression that it was a style I was intentionally going for. After talking with her about this at length, and looking at some other pieces done in this style, it's something that I sort of want to start playing around with. So, expect to see a lot of flat colour pieces from me for a while. I sort of want to play around with this, and it's also an excuse to work on more detailed backgrounds.

Interesting, I didn't know Herge invented a coloring technique.
