Line Weight Communicates So Much More Than You Think

Join the premium course to continue learning - https://proko.com/drawing

In this lesson, we explore the art of combining line weight methods to create a unique drawing style. Drawing is akin to learning a language, where one starts with random "noises" and gradually develops complexity. This demo combines three methods: importance, light direction/shadows, and depth, using tools like line thickness, line value, and line tapering.

Remember that developing your style can be as simple or complex as you desire. Focusing on different aspects, such as color or shape design, and practicing through exploration will help you develop a unique voice. By practicing line weight in focused exercises, you'll intuitively make better decisions when creating artwork and improve your overall drawing skills and understanding of line dynamics.
