A one line drawing, also known as a single line drawing, is a drawing made with just one line. For most artists it is a way to simplify the complex world around us. Yet there are many different kinds out there, with each artist having their own specific charisteristics. The main differences I found are:

Simple versus complex

Smooth versus rough

One thickness versus a variation of thin and thick areas

With or without filled areas

With or without color

Open or closed

Focussed on a theme such as animals, body illustrations, portraits or erotics

The most famous example even dates back to the early 20th century, the one line drawings made by Pablo Picasso, Matisse etc. They took a complex, realistic example and simplified it into one single unbroken line. These drawings can look relatively simple to make, but capturing the true essence of the shape in just one line can be quite challenging.
