    A number of artists use continuous line drawing techniques. Some notable names who have produced drawings this way include Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky. Continuous line drawing is when an artist draws without lifting their pencil, pen or charcoal, creating a complete image out of one long line. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of drawings and other art from some of the world's top dealers and galleries.
