LESSON NOTES

In this lesson, I'll demonstrate the line weight project using the light direction approach. When done well it can even create the illusion of light and shadow without any shading. Join us in the premium course to watch this demo and all future demos.

In this demo, I show the "light and shadow" method for organizing line weight.

Before and after demo. With the before, I was being a little hasty with finishing it, but I was also trying to give an artistic flare of no lines on the highlights. I think version 2 works better for showing the form and just overall practice.

Here's my attempt for light and shadow on this one

Went back to my rhino after watching the demo and worked on having better variance and thicker lines foe the shadows. Felt like it came out stronger

Attached is my attempt at 33/185 Light and Shadow line weight. I can see using both the hierarchy of importance line weight and light and shadow line weight are great skills to get better at creating them. like Stan mentioned in the lessons these skills should enhance the drawings along with the shading lesson we will learn in the future. i enjoyed trying these skills and will continue to work on them in my future drawing

Before and after for the line weight, this one is little more tricky I feel like compared to the hierarchy one because I feel like you have to get how light work and translate and so there is à lot of décision like said in the video but it was fun

Gonna practice this more with characters that I find appealing

yeah I definitely didn't understand the light and shadows method for line weight. Mostly the contrast related stuff. But I am hoping that I just don't have to do a lot of this in my art when I make my own art and I can go with more of the line weight by importance of element method.

Here are my attempts on pic 1: 'Hiearchy of Importance' and pic 2: 'Light & Shadow' after watching the demos!

Re-did the assignment after watching the demo. I tried to use a wider range of line weight this time and think it turned out better. :)

Hi everyone :) I think I did better on this one than on the hierarchy of importance one, but I only used thick and thin lines and wasn't able to look at other aspects of line weight so I will try to do that when I do this drawing again. Feedback appreciated 🙌

I did this exercise one more time after seeing the demo. I kept the lines more loose this time.

My try, but at the end I saw that perspective is lost. But how’s my friend says: our mistakes are presents

I re-did the light and shadow line weight exercise after watching the demo, and then, in a fit of madness, somehow thought it would be a fun idea to try the 'simplify from observation' exercise with this photo. But, like many foolhardy and naive a lion cub, I quickly found I had taken on more than I could handle by trying to tackle this adult rhino by myself....hey ho. It was a good way to gauge the limits of my abilities.

I know the quality of my lines are not the best. I traced the photo and then tried to use different line weight to show foreground, middleground, and background. I enjoy practicing this.
