added comment inHow to Draw with Line Weight
This exercise really drove home the importance of line weight to me!

I really like this one. The very thick lines fit really well. I have to give it a try.

I made a quick drawing to see the difference between no line weight, only thick outlines and thick lines where I would put them. The fourth is just adding colors because I thought why not. The dwarve is "Grumpy" from Snow White. Next is the rhino from Stan but I need more time...

First time I tried to scetch something from imagination. This was fun :)
So cute and well drawn. These would fit perfect in a children's book or animation. Love it. Would love to see your references and initial sketches.

Here are my assignments. I HAD to go with a Hollow Knight theme, after Proko mentioned bugs! :D
Image 1: Multiple sketches + final piece
Image 2: Progress (rough sketch, then clean lines)
Image 3: References
I had the urge to add some color in the end, hope you like it.
Wow really nice. Love the multiple sketches page. I would have gone for number 1 for the final drawing as I like the pose abit more without the shield covering most of the face. This is great work. Wish I could do the same.

Thanks for the post! I really liked how the cups looked, and i decided to try the line weights in combination with the draw from perspective ( I never drew anything before starting this course)
Wow. Impressive for someone just starting out! Keep it up! I think your lines can be a little more fluid especially on the ellipses. I too have difficulties with getting proper ellipses. Great job.

I can't seem to start the line tapered. Ending a line tapered is easy as you flick the pencil of the page but how to start it?

Please watch the 6 Habits for Good Line Quality lesson. Specifically the "Ghosting" techniques should help you with tapering the beginning of a line.
I have exactly the same problem. The start of the line either gets too hard/thick or the tapering at the start gets much longer than the tapering at the end.
Any advice, maybe from @Stan Prokopenko besides continuing to practice?
what helped me was visualizing / embodying the feeeling of a pendulum. start doing them reeeally slow and speed up and let muscle memory from the slower ones. start real light push real hard then flick

Hi, here is my try on the assignment. I did all three of them quickly because I thought it would help the "sketch" feeling but I ended up with skewed proportions and in my opinion too squiggly lines. I don't care for the proportions but the sketchyness and nice strokes are kind of missing I guess. Some parts I do it but find it difficult to do it when drawing smaller details. Hard to draw with the arm when drawing an eye, hand or any small details. Let me know what you think.

Here’s my crack at this week’s assignment.
It was pretty fun.
I thought it was cool, how each reference kinda of had me figure out different ways to approach the ‘problem solving’.
The first image of the snail had me drawing mostly in C and S lines as the shapes were very rounded and the drawing was quite fluid.
Wow. These ones look great. How do you start? Block in or construction or just start it?
