This paper explores the use of linear aesthetics and Igbo traditional motifs in the drawings of Ben Onuorah Osondu, Obiorah Udechukwu, and Uche Okeke, focusing on how these artists engage indigenous visual systems such as Uli and Nsibidi to construct cultural narratives. Through formal and contextual analysis, the study reveals how each artist reinterprets indigenous symbols to address contemporary socio-political and philosophical themes. Employing a comparative lens, the research highlights aesthetic differences and ideological convergences in their works, positioning them within the framework of postcolonial African modernism and visual storytelling. The study underscores the significance of drawing as a medium for preserving Igbo heritage and articulating post-independence Nigerian identity.
