In this demo, I show the "hierarchy of importance" method for organizing line weight. Check back next week for my demos on the “shadow and light direction” method and the level 2 project!

Reminds me of a cooking quote that "cooking is doing a lot of little things very well." And this video made me see how much that applies to drawing. I actually made a lot of similar big descisions as Stan and we were even given the exact same outline but some very small descisions that Stan makes throughout leaves the final design soooo much better. Great video!

Yeah, you are right.

Before and after viewing demo sketches for each hierarchy of importance and light and shadow. Very instructive videos and exercises.

I think some of the line weight decisions I made are somewhat random and could probably be more consistent/thoughtful.
Andrew Kovachik
Wow! This feels stylized in such a cool way!!

I used Procreate for this, again. I hope it is better
Martha Muniz
Looks pretty good! Very clear hierarchy in your line weight choices :)

Before and after watching the demo Using a softer pencil and treating the lines more like shapes made a world of difference

Before and after demo! I know now how to better structure them. The first one felt more like exploration and testing how to do line weight
@cloudhopper
Experimented with markers first…
@nickyenchilada
Before and after watching the demo. I tried giving my initial drawing a thicker outline on the contours.

This was actually really fun to do! I've included both the hierarchal and shadow and light direction versions

This was my attempt after watching the demo. It started making a lot more sense to me after jotting down some notes and things to keep in mind.
