Thank you Stan for your critique and advice. I was very excited and nervous to see something I did in a critique video. I have watched both David Finch and Ryan Benjamin’s videos before, I am a fan of both of their works. I found the Proko David Finch video on How to Cross Hatch for Comics very helpful and watched it multiple times, even replicating what he did to my best. I tried tackling the rhino and cross hatch it again but got frustrated with my results, I’m trying to slow down, focus on quality, and follow David’s advice. This is my progress so far, along with my other attempts.

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.
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?
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.
