Before I get into the level 2 demo, I want to show you my thought process for exploring the different options for organizing line weight.

As someone new to drawing, I'm finding these lessons, warm ups and projects very helpful. Just trying to draw those simple shoes, I tried the overhand shading method he used, and realized that it was much more awkward than I thought it would be. So one more thing to practice. Thanks for putting this course together.

I tried to apply all the concepts shown in this lesson.
All feedback and comments are appreciated :))

These look really good!
The weight of the lines is great. Using the darker, thicker lines to separate the different layers of overlap is a great idea.
Your bird drawing looks a bit too static and I think if you pulled longer, smoother lines, you could really add some energy too.
I tried tracing over your drawing to help explain.

I love the concept of line weight! Still a lot to learn, but I am very content with my progress through this course!

Are you supposed to not draw cast shadow lines, while following light and shadow method. I did with the shadow on the ground.

There was no assignment on this, but looks like everyone is doing their own projects as a flash mob, so I am joining the crowd!

Created an opportunity to practice a bit of line weight problem solving with a simple sketch. A lifetime of exploring and practicing ahead of me. It is exciting. And I look forward to improving.

This one was difficult. I made one before watching demo but completely didn’t understand the assignment so did one after and basically copied Stan’s work. Still can’t really figure it out on which bases you choose thickness and darkness of the lines.

A wonderful simplification of the project!

I'm not sure if I posted this in another lesson, but here's my try at hiearchy, Depth, and light and shadow.

I tried to help another student and made this my line weight project, but then much more became involved with perspective, which I have some experience with. Left to right 2nd try, 1st, and reference photo. I was trying to figure out the legs in perspective and I know we have got there, but which do you think works better for the legs? Left or Middle? Feedback welcome

Tried this with empasis on torso and legs for depth. Feedback welcome

Attempted this using the overhand grip which made it much harder to put the correct line weight with confidence, as I am not used to this grip. Need to practice more using the overhand grip.
Also for the still life I came back to try it with the tripod grip. Any advice is appreciated.

These are my attempt on the three methods of the vid.

followed the vid, I'm sure I'll improve more with proper practice

Tried the 3 different ways using an image as reference. Since the reference was simple, it helped me focus of the lines I was putting down since there were so few. Overall, I'm happy with how they turned out, and can't actually decide which one I like the most.
I think each has their own uses and can't wait to apply them in my future drawings!

This was my first attempt at Depth and form used a Samus artwork from Metroid Prime for this.
Hope to hear some feedback :)

Great project idea ;)
You did really great, you can really feel the distance.
Don't know if that's a good advice, but maybe use more light lines on Samus's head, to make it feel more 3-dimensional ? It feels like on the same plan for me. Also, love the arms, legs and chest, really feeling like its closer than the rest ! (Especially the right (left?) knee and the right arm (the darker one)

Any critiques would be nice, simplified the image and changed things to improve the composition.
