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.

Hello Ya’ll, the first one is a the lighting method, the second one is more intuitive/focusing on the focal point. Can i improve/fix something?

A few more studies with line weight

Anyone else spending more time, looking for pictures to draw then practicing drawing? Any insights? is there a Proko reference pack of images to practice line weights?

Was sketching and designing a character but at the same time trying to think about line weight and I think this came out all right! (I know my line quality is kind of messy and shaky but I'm not sure if that's a bad thing? I don't like actually lining so what I do is work on one layer and make a sketch and then clean up the sketch by erasing anything I don't need/want, so it's a deliberate decision which ends up creating this effect as a result? Worried that this is bad though and I'm falling into the whole 'this is just my style' excuse.)

My rhinos turned out pretty bad so I tried to make it simple. Started with a simple still life photo, progressing to my shoes and then a photo from Lisbon. Really enjoyed the process and the progression, I never really considered lines to make such a difference!

Trying to get more practice with lines. Tried organizing line weight based on shadow and contrast.

After attempting on practicing depth and form on the shoes, I tried practicing depth and form on women heels. This was a little tough for me to get it to feel there is depth and form. Feedback is always welcome! :)

Spent some time trying to draw the form here rather than sketching it. Thought I could use the practice with the other things we've learned. Hope someone can give me some feedback!

Before the demo, I did a comic sketch of Spiderman, but after watching the demo, I realized my sketch wasn't interesting because there was no organization in my line weight (except for the eyes and the spider logo on the chest). After watching the demo, I went back to that drawing and added some organization, using the hierarchy of importance method. I feel like the second sketch is a lot more interesting but I'm definitely open to feedback

here my homework + intuitive linework I did on my own

Additional examples on line weight.

These are my additional examples on line weight. I find it a bit challenging, particularly the techniques involving light and shadow, but they are very interesting. What can I improve?

I'm unhappy with what I've done with my line weight here but I'm not sure what I should do. Please share how you would have solved this problem! background on ref: My dad's gettin old and he started feeding the squirrels. This guy appeared on my bedroom window the other day looking for a handout. Needless to say, I FEAR FOR MY LIFE.
