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.

My line weight drawings, Importance and light direction emphasis

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.

In this one, the reference image had pretty even lighting so I decided to use hierarchy of importance instead. I also tried to incorporate depth by considering whether each plant was in focus or not. Overall I think it looks nice, but I think the pitcher with the thickest lines could do with a bit more variation in the line thickness.
