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 tried to draw directly from the photo for this exercise. Honestly, I’m not sure how to improve when using ink. After watching the video, I understand how to make progress with pencil because it offers a wider range of values (weight and darkness). But with ink, the only thing I can really vary is line weight—pressing lightly still gives a dark line. If anyone has a solution, I’m open to suggestions. Maybe using black watercolor could be an option.
Light and shadow line weight with Rhino. Before (left) and after (right) the demo. Before the demo, I could not make a decision on which area s/b thick , or not. The demo helped me clarify that question. Looks much better now
Pre and post demo. The second attempt felt much more natural with clarity from the demo.
Both are well done. The perspective is achieved. The second one has more confident lines and more detail, but both are very good.
The demo helped me pay more attention to the value of the line, and not only on its thickness and also the beauty of smoothing out the transitions. Really nice!
I did these last two in digital, it was very interesting seeing the effect the line produces.
I see! Rather than looking at the actual image of the rhino as I traced the line art, I simply made up my own light sources. This was very interesting, thank you!
mm i did wrong this exercise i done the full shadow its seems cool but not the premise

This is a great start! Looks like you’re getting the right idea.
Just push it more. Get bolder.
Hello
I try to practice the light and shadow an another drawing because I didn't get the assignment right before seing the demo. I always had hard time with how to see the value of light and shadow and still have. A little help will be welcome.
Thanks and good evening all.
Hi Everyone, I am practicing line weight digitally. I am able to pull my initial drawing with good lines but as I apply line weight as second line my lines aren't correlating with initial copy or I don't get tampering lines and It doesn't look good as initial drawing. Do I need to learn putting line weight in initial phase with planning or I am lacking practice to pull good line weight stroke in my second attempt? Help please?
I'm doing digital as well and using Krita. I imported the base image and once in the canvas all you will need to do is create another layer to draw on. I created a layer for each of the practices all in one save, then you can toggle each layer to review. This will allow the base imported image to be on its own untouched layer. Hope this helps.
