Do you start within line or the outline of the world?

[@DeanneFitzpatrickStudio]

I often begin with the outline.

[@MerryStarn]

I am new to this. Should you always outline the parts of your design with a darker color?

[@DeanneFitzpatrickStudio]

I'd say it depends on the nature of the design. For example if you're hooking a landscape of a sky over a field you probably don't want to have harsh dark lines dividing the elements. But there are other designs where that kind of outlining can look great.

[@pennycandyys]

Lots of painters under paint, and then some of that is left, outlining elements in a painting. A rusty colour is often seen, but I’m sure there are others.
