The 3 line weight methods that we've been exploring are all valuable tools, and it's not necessary to limit yourself to just one. In this bonus demo, I'll attempt to use ALL 3 line weight methods in the same drawing and show how you can be creative in the way you combine them.

My attempt to combine depth/focus with a bit of importance, and more thought put in general in line weight.

I was never really thinking about the fact, that I could change the value of the line, thanks! :D I made 3 little drawing with the light+shadow and the combined method. I tried something similar a few months ago while sketching my characters, but I wasn't that thoughtful then. Now I know the truth :P

Started watching this video, but wanted to try the demo myself for shadow and depth before fully watching to see if I'm on the right track, since I kind of felt like I auto-piloted the Rhino exercise a bit. Any feedback is appreciated!

For a minute I felt so scared that I'd have to think about EVERY TYPE OF WEIGHT while drawing..
Good think I watched to the end :')
But it does feel great to learn about each concept, even on the surface, so that when we practice, we try to implement those concepts into our drawings.
Thank you so much for this useful bonus lesson, sir :p

Hey!! I tried the combing line weight with how Stan did the box in the video. I took a picture of this little Batman square plushie I’ve had for years. I don’t it came out too bad, but I think it could be better. I think I should’ve make the shadows darker to make it pop out more. Feedback and critiques would be very much appreciated. Have a nice day!!

I decided to try applying this line weight tutorial to a study piece of a mystic from Dark Crystal. Half-way through I realized I was creating a painter urRu (the name of the mystics in Dark Crystal) and decided to try and use line weight to emphasize the characters head and the object they are painting. Let me know what you think :)

Even with the simple form like this box, making decisions on the combinations of line value and thickness to express the importance, light, and depth were difficult.

Hello! I tried to combine the 3 Line Weight Method, but I feel that my dark lines are not dark enough. Even when I used a 6B pencil to emphasize them, it was hard to make the lines darker. I use HB -> 2B -> 4B -> 6B, but my dark lines still look like 2B or maybe 4B, and not dark enough like 6B. If I push harder, I will start to damage the paper. (I use LYRA Graphite 2B, 4B, and 6B). Is anyone also has this problem?

It helped me to create a key for the line weights.
It’s weird that In my sketchbook the verticals looked perfectly parallel but in this photo they are not. I think taking a photo of my drawing may be a great self critique tool moving forward because I can see things in the photo that I can’t see looking directly at it.

Decided to try out combining line weight like Stan demonstrated but with a different light source. I found it hard to decide how I can show that a line is close to the camera without making it look like it's in shadow.
All critiques are welcome

I ain’t gonna say much here expect I think I did pretty well. I liked Proko’s advice at the end of thinking about these different ways of applying Line Weight, when practicing them.
focus on making them become intuitive when drawing, anything else.
Criticisms are welcomed!

I feel like I'm still having trouble with basic lines, are there any supplemental things I could try to keep practicing? I want to do this, but it's too hard.
