What's in Premium?

Your underdrawing is just a guide. In this lesson, I'll show you how to cover it up with beautiful, dynamic lines that bring your subjects to life. You'll learn to avoid boring, uniform outlines and instead use a variety of line qualities—light, dark, thick, thin, hard, and soft—to communicate texture and weight.

I'll demonstrate how to apply these concepts by taking a bird drawing from basic shapes to a finished piece, explaining how to choose the right lines for different materials. You'll also get three key principles for finishing your drawings, including how to define shapes of light and dark to add dimension.
