In this demo, I show the "hierarchy of importance" method for organizing line weight.
Check back next week for my demos on the “shadow and light direction” method and the level 2 project!

Experimented with markers first…

Before and after watching the demo. I tried giving my initial drawing a thicker outline on the contours.

This was actually really fun to do! I've included both the hierarchal and shadow and light direction versions

This was my attempt after watching the demo. It started making a lot more sense to me after jotting down some notes and things to keep in mind.

Well done, big difference! To me, the "after"-picture is a lot more interesting to look at!

Here is my second attempt after watching the demo. I realized that I did not vary my line weight at all in my first attempt. I did also just see that I messed up the head in this one though 😆

First attempt at the project before watching the demo. This project really helped me get to grips with procreate’s brushes. Feedback welcome!

Left: 1st attempt before watching demo. (Hierarchy of importance exercise.)
Right: 2nd attempt post demo.
I loved this exercise because:
1. it switched up the learning from sketching to now only worrying about linework to practice.
2. Seeing the difference before and after watching the demo. After writing down some notes, I returned to the drawing and did it again. I can see the difference and its amazing how much I learned from this single exercise.
Feedback is a welcome :)

Your second attempt looks great. It appears to me that you really shifted from a fixed to variable line weight, and it looks much more dynamic.

I made this one after the demo, I had a hard time finding the most important lines and I think i made them too thick.

It was kind of hard to determine how much detail to keep so I'm curious to see the demo... Overall I think I did okay!

Here is my before and after. In my opinion i made a big improvement. I made it darker and thicker at the feet to give it more weight and made the horn darker to show it as a more significant part of the image. Also i might have pressed too hard with the pencil i'm not sure. It's a 6B I used in the after.

Looks good! I def see the improved linework on the second one :)

Lots of fun, did my own redline just to get more practice at drawing animals. Here's my hierarchy of importance.

Redid my rhino after demo. I can see some improvement. Feedback!

Great job! Definitely see the pop in the key areas of importance, it reads very nicely :)

Nice! Definitely see the contrast from the outline to the internal details, plus the eyes are a strong focal point. I think with the front arms/paws, the overlap over the leg may cause that area to appear more busy than the rest of the drawing. I would recommend choosing the arm/paws as the thicker line and making the leg area underneath thinner, as this would make them differ in contrast and make the drawing more clear and readable.

Good morning my second attempt after watching video is on the right side, but now that I look at it I think I like my first attempt on the left better. Feedback welcome
