Line work/ Signature styles #1

I have recently been considering line work and how illustrators and artists have created a signature style with it. So I decided to begin an exploration of artists and styles that I like and influence me..
Today I've been thinking about Herge's work and how much I love his seeming simplicity coupled with his attention to detail and visual and historical accuracy..
The first thing that grabs me about Herge's work (especially with Tintin) is his line work.
I have found the following passage on Wikipedia to describe his Ligne Claire technique -

Ligne claire (French for "clear line") is a style of drawing pioneered by Hergé, the Belgian creator of The Adventures of Tintin. It is a style of drawing that uses clear strong lines of uniform importance, and does not emphasize selected objects by different thicknesses of line, by shading, or by cross-hatching. (For this reason it is sometimes also called the democracy of lines.) Additionally, the style often features strong colours and a combination of cartoonish characters against a realistic background. The use of shadows is sparse and all elements of a panel are delineated with clear black lines. The name was coined by Joost Swarte in 1977.
