What's in Premium?

Once the main outlines of a character are finished, I add bolder outlines to create emphasis and definition. In this lesson, I show you how to use line weight to make your character stand out from the background. I explain why I put a bold outline around the entire outer edge to draw the viewer's eye right into the character. We also cover how to emphasize specific details like the eyes and hands. This keeps important features from getting lost in the rest of the drawing. I share my layer setup for this process and keep the definition layer separate so we do not ruin the original outlines. You will see exactly which parts to thicken and which parts to leave thin.
