In this project, we'll practice organizing line weight in our drawings.
Level 1 - Trace
Trace over the provided linear version of the photo to avoid getting distracted by proportions. Trace it twice, using two different line weight approaches discussed in the last video:
- Hierarchy of importance method - Heavier on the contours of large and important shapes. Lighter on details within.
- Shadows and light direction method - Reference the original photo to identify the shadows.
Note: Don't use the depth and form method yet.
Level 2 - Draw from Observation
Level 2 students, in addition to the tracing exercise, try to trace it again, but imagine the light coming from a different direction IF you’re ready for that.
Then, draw from observation, focusing on line weight. Choose objects around you and draw as many as you'd like. If you draw a landscape with a clear foreground, middleground, and background, you can use the depth approach to line weight.
Deadline for submissions to be included in the video critique is next Thursday (4/13/2023)
This is my assigment for the Line Weigth Project. It's been really fun to do and it also helped me to understand better the different methodologies.
Couple of attempts at the rhino. These were as much an experiment with digital brushes as they were for line weight.
The first seven I did before watching the the demos. The first three are all digital pencil, and I experimented with different hierarchies of value. I think I like Pencil II the most. Pencil I (where I tried to highlight the head) feels incomplete, and Pencil III feels a little too flat, a little too graphic.
Definitely like the inked ones more, and the acrylic the most. Of the three inked ones, I liked the third one the most, and it was my first attempt at the light and shadow part of the assignment. The acrylic one feels much more organic to me, though. Took a bit longer, but the result is pretty nice.
Really suggest anyone doing this assignment try running it several times.
As an aside, man, controlling the line weight digitally is hard. And very brush dependent.
First attempt, Rhino exercise line weight, before watching the demo. I tried to imagine the sun position and give the line value according to the shadow and light with line hierarchy. This exercise is challenging. I really struggled imagining the position of the sun, and the cast shadow. Tough one, but i will keep practicing.

I think you made great decisions here! I would bump up the line weight even more in the shadow areas to make it more obvious which is which.
Hello, this is my first attempt on the line weight exercise through the use of light and shadows, would love to get a feedback thanks.
I did a combined line weights project. In this I had vertical and depth appear far away,so lower towards the base and close up is the closest. Also the pot is the importance subject. For shadows I made those lines thicker. So if something is important and in shadow it would have the thickest line. Let me know if there are any feedback. Thank you!

Looks good! A couple of notes that will help sell the the depth:
- Overlap is one of our best tools for showing depth. The pear at the front is getting a little lost because there is no clear overlap.
- Vary outlines a bit more to show the directionality of light.
- If you’re using line weight to show shadow side, and light side, be sure to keep it fairly consistent to help with the illusion of depth.
Nice work. Keep it up!
First one is hierarchy of importance method and the second one is shadows and light direction method. I hope to receive feedback on my drawings. Thanks a lot.

I like your decisions here, my advice would be to push the line weight even more, especially in the hierarchy of importance drawing. It's difficult to see the different line weights because they are similar. I used the light and shadow drawing as an example to show how you can design your lines like shapes to create interesting effects. Hope that is helpful to you!
Hello, this is my first attempt on the line weight using the hierarchy of importance method on tracing paper.
First is light and shadows, second is hierarchy of importante, couldn’t find way to trace so I just drew from rhino picture first and tried to darken lines as I saw matched shadow and light, then I drew from prokos drawing and darkened what I thought was more important and lightened smaller details and lightens the shapes farther away like the far leg
Hello everyone, Here is another attempt of organizing line weight. It is a fan art of Greymon from Digimon in my own style. I hope you like it 😍
there`s my submit to this project
did it on the wacom
reaaaaaally like some feedback
I decided to do these digitally in krita!!! interesting lesson and it seemed kinda abstract. I messed some things up big time now that I see it but overall line weight is a cool thing to be aware of; critiques welcome
Didn’t have printer so I drew the rhino in hopes I could trace over it. I couldn’t. So I decided to find some pictures where I can try to utilize the different uses of line weights. The scenic photo I drew a thumbnail to try to simplify the drawing to focus more on the intended use of this exercise. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
I posted the rhino drawing a while ago and I was a big fan of light & dark method. Now I tried to practise with other pictures. This time I think the hierarchy of importance works great for me :)
