Light weight: 1) hierarchy of importance method, 2) Shadow & Light method, 3) My drawing of rhino from picture.

I made the outline thicker and the inner lines thinner. I wanted to emphasize the face, horns, and front legs.

Hello! Here are my attempts for the level one project. I didn't trace it—I find it more fun that way. For this level in particular, I used the simplified version of the rhino. For the level two project, I used the photo because it suited the purpose better. The first attempt is on the left.

I did this one in Procreate before watching the demo. The red notes are what I wrote while watching the demo. Any further suggestions are welcome :)

I decided to draw , not trace. That ya have been a mistake. The first one has emphasis on the overall major features of the rhino, while the second has emphasis on the lower extremeties assuming light from above.

I wanted emphasize the Rhino's face (especially the horns) and forelegs, so I used the thickest lines there. The body contour is still thick but little bit less than the face and forelegs because I thought they are less important. As I doing this exercise, I was getting confused by the depth too! My version may ended up a combination of the hierarchy and the depth.

The first image I used hb and 4b to experiment with contrast. It was also done on an image at 20% transparency. The second done with 2b at 100% transparency.

Pre and post demo. In the post-demo I had thought that occurred to me that what I was doing was designing lines/shapes and I just went with it.

Tried it again idk man i get the basic idea of make the most important thing dark but idk when i do it something feel wrong

What pencil is he using?

When I originally traced the rhino, I wanted to emphasize the "sadness" of it; I was really drawn to the eyes (reminded me of my gramps ;)). Anyway, so I placed darker lines around the eyes and mouth area (since it was sort of like a frown) and used light and softer lines on the rest of the rhino. I used relatively light lines on the horn bc I did not want to take away from focus on eyes and mouth. Looking at it again, however, I don't think it really worked. It just looks like I gave up or didn't understand the assignment. After watching the demo, I still wanted to see if I could achieve a clear emphasis on the sadness or worn down look of the animal by making some of the lines heavier, darker and thicker. I'm not sure I achieved it though; it may just look I placed focus on the head. Love to hear what you think.

Seems like I don’t follow instructions. When I see the demo it’s like DUH!

After Demo

After demo attempt, I never realized how important line could be and the diverse ways to use it.

Bro I don’t know if I did this good critique my lines 👌

My rhino after watching the demo. I can now understand that the line is in fact a shape with it's own little shapes inside. The demo rhino is so beautiful even as just lines! Made me rethink my entire life :D I only knew thick vs thin lines, I never considered the shapes of angles and tempered lines.

Following Proko. Can definitely see where I wasn't putting enough line weight/emphasis in my original attempts.

Did this one along with the demo video. Got a lot of good tips for varying line weight to make the image more interesting. Also found myself experimenting a little more with parts I wanted to make stand out. Great project!
