Here is my line weight exercise before watching the demo/critique. Definitely some things I would do differently now. But, that is why I'm taking the class. Any feedback is always appreciated.

Sharing my line weight exercise

Another try of line weight after viewing this video

light and shadows try

Here are some drawings where I tried intentionally to change the line weight. The first is the Rhino one, that was intented for this project. And the other two were different parts of the house where I live. There were some perspective elements which weren't easy at all to handle with. Feel free to tell me your thoughts about it!

So it doesn’t necessarily have to be faithful to the photo, right? For example, if I want the viewer to focus on the bear, but in the photo the rock has the strongest contrast, then faithfully reproducing that would draw attention to the rock instead. So in that case, it’s okay to adjust it, right?

I tried it too because the photo you posted @chary was so cute. This is pretty difficult. Shading itself is simple in the sense of getting darker or lighter, but I think it takes practice to balance importance and depth at the same time. I wanted to emphasize the lion’s mane as an important feature, but since the mane is on the light-facing side, the lines ended up looking light. Maybe I should have made the shadowed areas of the mane darker?

I liked the traffic light piece. It reminded me of some of the stuff you see on the liminality subreddit.

2025/10/12. Good afternoon everybody. This is my assignment for section. Thanks and have a good Sunday.

love the line weight exercise!

It's my level 2 practice.

I tried to incorporate the values of all three parts, and that's probably the main reason why my drawing isn't very good either way.

Hi Everyone, I am practicing line weight digitally. I am able to pull my initial drawing with good lines but as I apply line weight as second line my lines aren't correlating with initial copy or I don't get tampering lines and It doesn't look good as initial drawing. Do I need to learn putting line weight in initial phase with planning or I am lacking practice to pull good line weight stroke in my second attempt? Help please?

Made a quick little drawing while watching. It was just a little bunny (attached) and I wanted to try and indicate the speed through the line weight. My thought was that I would indicate the parts of the motion which were in tight/stretched/pressure with a think line and the parts that I see as being relaxed were lighter. Not sure i'm 100% happy with it but atleast 70%. If anyone wants to try and make their own running rabbit I'd love to see how you tackle the speed aspect :) Edited a quick overlay of reference and drawing. My only excuse is that I I intentionally gave the front weight bearing paw an big curve to try and cue that its weight bearing. The rest is my generally messing up proportions. I think the ears I should have been able to get right as I realize my angle on the ears are just generally too much.

For me, the light-shadow method is the most difficult to grasp. I still find myself painting the shadow instead of just focusing on the line work;-)

after watching the video and practiced a littler, I found some appreciation for line weight. Any critiques are welcomed!

First time drawing digitally so this was a bit of a challenge for me. Image of a trip I had in Hawaii, thought it would be cool if the image had an actual dinosaur. Any criticism would be appreciated.
