6 Habits for Good Line Quality

As artists, line quality plays a crucial role in our drawings. Developing good habits early on ensures that our artwork leaves a strong impression. In this lesson, we discuss 6 habits to help you achieve good line quality. You’ll learn how to avoid the common mistakes, find a comfortable speed, follow-through, ghost in your lines, rotate the paper, and use simple strokes. Remember to practice these habits while sketching, and check out the full Drawing Basics course at https://proko.com/drawing for more in-depth lessons, projects, and demonstrations.
