LESSON NOTES
In this demo, I'll explore line weight organization using the hierarchy of importance method. This method involves emphasizing important elements of a drawing using thicker and darker lines, while less important elements have thinner and lighter lines.

This is my final rhino. I tried to give the impression of height and size, so increased line thickness on the front and lower parts as though i was looking up at the animal.
These exercises have been different for me since usually i get so caught up in trying to get the shapes, dimensions and positions right that i kinda lose focus on what the goal of the exercise is. This time, tracing the lines (felt like cheating but) allowed me to focus more on the goal of the exercise. lol
Looking back on my submission, the lines I made were not nearly thick enough. I was being oddly economical with line weight.
These are my attempts before Stans demo.
the first one i tried emphasising the vertical lines. At the feet, i was very light with horizontals - heavy with the verticle grass too. i wanted to show the strength of the rhino, and its connection to the ground, but not so much the weight.
the 2nd one, i did foreground, middle, background. which accentuates the length i guess. Maybe a bit much? The rear end is almost not there.
the 3rd one, was my attempt at trying to show lighting. It's a bit haphazard.
Having watched the first demo, i'm aiming to be stronger with my lines, and more flexible ones. And do more passes over the drawing before i finish.
Hi everyone :)
Here is my drawing. I will redo it after because I think it can be better. Feedback appreciated 🙌
I ve tried to re do the exercice, i like the drawing but i could ve push more certain lines and certainly put more light lines too so it make it look more contrasted wich is what is supposed to happen, i believe (it shows soft, too uniform). I think that at some point I lost sight of the purpose of the exercise.
Level1: This was my first time tracking like ever.
I did notice missed some spots I noticed later and I'm still not at the level where I can control my pencil pressure that well.
But it certainly it was a nice drawing exercise for line weight.
Done after the demo, was lost in the beginning thinking of the importance of the assignment rather than the lines.
With the core concept grasped there's more room for improvement now :D
That’s my result, but I tried to draw it from reference, not just to line the original drawing
Here's another attempt at the level one line weight exercise. I definitely feel like I had better control of my line work this time compared to my first pass. This has been a fun exercise!
Before and after demo. I updated my lines to emphasize the outline, the horns, and the eyes a bit more, since they are indeed more important.
This was an interesting one for me! I still struggle a bit with figuring out where the hierarchy (and the light/shadow) goes. But I am starting to understand. I might have to retry this again and see if I can improve it!
Happy to hear critiques on how I could've done this better. Thank you!
What kind of pencil was Stan using for this demo?
