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.
I didn’t have a printer so I had to draw the rhino from scratch, I think I’m learning the line weight pretty well but I need to focus on the tiny details better

You've got a solid attempt at drawing the rhino, good job focusing on the line weight but I can see where you're struggling to match the skin wrinkles a bit. Have you tried taping a piece of paper to the screen you're using and tracing it that way? Might be worth a shot!
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.
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
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've tryied to apply the line weight light and shadow method to an observation drawing
I did this exercise one more time after seeing the demo. I kept the lines more loose this time.
