How to Draw with Line Weight

[@ProkoTV]

There’s so much to line weight and we cover even more in the premium course. Continue learning at proko.com/drawing

[@bravezoom]

can i ask a question how to find your style ??

[@unmeiidesu]

@@bravezoomfirst understand other artstyles that u find interesting and appealing Though your own artstyle is more individual with (preferably) some uniqueness. U can copy other artists’ aspects and after a while u will adapt to those 🤷‍♀️

[@JazGalaxy]

I've wanted something like this for a very long time. When you do a search for KZbin videos on line weight you get almost nothing and only a few of what you do get are very good.

Proko makes art careers man

[@reelkyrie]

No doubt ❤

[@reeseindac4626]

Art really is a career

[@leif1075]

How do you know for sure? Any evidence please?

[@BurntSushi.]

My art teacher loved showing his videos

[@AeliosArt]

Use of line weight on the anime Demon Slayer is super interesting. I'd love to see a breakdown on how it's used there

[@sael5084]

I can try if you want

[@clumsyninja925]

​@@sael5084 I wanna see

[@someuser4166]

Promoting such a normie anime. It's not nearly as well produced as all the normies think. Go look at something produced during "and golden age of anime" (late 80s early 90s)

[@AeliosArt]

@@sael5084 sure

[@AeliosArt]

@@someuser4166 lmao okay bud. Does it make you feel better acting like you're better than everyone else? The reason I specifically asked Demon Slayer and not an 80s or 90s anime is because its art style has a particular emphasis on line weight AND it happens to have popularity and relevance right now. If you don't care for that, good for you. I'm not pandering to snobs.

[@JeBo-iw6gt]

I study architecture and I wonder why none of our teachers actually pointed this out. Its such a good technique to highlight shapes in your concept or just make plans easier to read

[@ulbiy]

This channel is amazing at simplifying hard to understand concepts that others tend to struggle understanding. Thank you so much for all your work! You’ve been helping me and many others with their art journey! Keep it up!!

[@PatrickTheArtist715]

This lesson is so well explained! May God bless you all that worked on this

[@TT-fn1xb]

Learnt more in these few minutes about line weight than i did in an art class i went to. Thank you Proko.

[@SwaagMan]

Awesome lesson as always Proko

[@sael5084]

If only I could apply then correctly 😢

[@SwaagMan]

@@sael5084 I find if I'm stuck to have the mind set of problem solving. I'll try and analyse what the problem is and try different things to fix it. KZbin/internet is a great tool to workshop ideas until you get it working for you. Keep at it. 💪 🔥

[@coins_png]

@@sael5084 Maybe you're expecting too much from yourself. Classic paintings from the masters used to take MONTH to YEARS. Some even produced only a few paintings in their lifetime. No one is gonna remember how long it took you to do anything so go easy on yourself. Plan for results not the fastest path.

[@yerduf]

Awesome as usual!!! You have been one of my best art teachers, and you don't even know, so, thank you!!!

[@myballshurt832]

I Agree, the way he teaches is so clear

[@alijaras]

Just in time, some hours ago I was searching about the Lineart and how to make it better.

[@CollegeKidd]

I was wondering about this topic, and gladly this video popped out in my feed, it's really informative and it gave me technical reasons of why this lineart style even exists in the first place, I thought it was just some cool thing artist do to be quirky. Thanks a bunch!!

[@JatinKapadia]

A flaw with KZbin, I can only 'Like' this Video once. Just one like cannot possibly communicate how easy and useful this video is. Thank you, Stan!

[@thomasmacdonald8145]

Can you please make a video on drawing clothing/ folds and drapery? Or if anyone has any good resources in the comments what would be great! Thanks

[@melindarivera6598]

This was so helpful. I hear a lot about line wait but have never had anyone explain it much. So this was a lot of help. Thank you

[@Sketchblopp]

Thank you so much for this video! I've tried to find out why specific artists use which ones for what reason for years but never really found a clear answer, just contradicting fragments of info. That made it harder for me to find out how to do it "right" in my own artwork. Finally getting that explanation about the different techniques and especially when to use which was exactly the info I needed!

[@AnnieNoodle]

I've been doing my Mermay skeches with a pentel pocket brush. Great way to play with line weights!

[@yoyohayli]

I love line work, as I'm most familiar with it in making art. But when I draw digitally, I always feel like my lines are way too thick all over, despite me shrinking the pen size so much! I am now having to shrink down to a value less than 1 on a pretty big canvas and that just seems ridiculous to me 😅

[@pinkajou656]

Maybe using a different kind of pen or brush would help? I find there’s a big difference with how they each feel even with the same numbered width.

[@yoyohayli]

@@pinkajou656 I tend to dislike any sort of texture in my brush I use, but I can certainly try. I use Clip Studio Paint and my linework is always on a vector layer, just because I'm trying to make a webcomic where I draw the pages in print format first, then go back and resize/rearrange panels into a scrolling format. Literally have been working on it for a year now and have hardly anything to show for it, but I'm not the most disciplined at working every day, as I also stream three times a week and work full time 😅

[@pinkajou656]

@@yoyohayli first that’s super cool! i also use clip studio paint, but I have never touched the vector tools so I unfortunately can’t help you there…

[@sinasinaie]

Thanks heaps! This video answers so many questions that I could never put into words.

[@oscarchavezart]

I have finally found a video that clearly and simply explains the basics of line quality.

[@brightboi4291]

Line weight, sharp lines and bubble shading is literally my entire artstyle.

[@Coreyw_art]

This was really helpful, thanks! I’ve been so focused on having varying line widths and avoiding having a “dead line”, that I haven’t been mindful of incorporating thinner lines for the background. It’s something you can easily pull off with a hunt 102 dip pen. Cheers!

[@WedgyBlue]

Wow thanks this helps me. I am suffer to what or how exactly thick is my Lining in my art.

[@patbird9694]

I must say you are really good at teaching . Keep up the good work

[@glam4663]

This is so helpful, I can never figure out where my lines should be heavy or light.

[@fesyaa8407]

Cool! People need to point this out because it's important but often being underestimated of how powerful it is.

[@deepzvlp]

I love you totally you make art so easy. Thank you.

[@held2053]

this is what I needed

[@binomesprite7829]

Heavy outline used to be used for perspective technical drawings. Such as exploded drawings in a workshop manual. The lines should taper as they go to the background.

[@derrick20]

this was so concise and informative, amazing lesson

[@artunblock9433]

Line weight is a really great way to improve a drawing easily

[@DG72149]

after 6 months i finally found the reason my lineart sucks. i've been drawing for 6 years. i know colour theory and stuff but at times i would make lineless art just to purposefully avoid doing the lineart but not anymore. tysm

[@rickojay7536]

It's been some time 😊 I missed these videos

[@keeganrasmussen977]

I used to draw like this, and still somewhat do... I found with realism sketches, it's great to use for important lines that are subtle and easy to lose.... Like elbow creases, direct lighting or shadow points, the curve of a car or an underboob..... It's used slightly differently than in comics, but ALOT the same

[@Scott999X]

Thank you so much Proko

[@grafitoytinta]

I've learn a lot from your videos, you make everything so clear...thank you so much!!

[@tvo-k7j]

when will the 2nd part of the ai discussion come?

[@hancigul5533]

Its very important to understand the role of lines and shapes. A great Vid, thanks much. Btw, could anyone suggest an artist pen, wich can make thinner and weighty lines in one stroke? Do they use special brush tips with ink?

[@Pearl-Slug]

Tombow Fudenosuke brush pen!! Or dip pens if you really want to challenge yourself.

[@DakiLife]

So lineweight is basioally adding natural occlusion as part of the line drawing process?

[@ShirakoriMio]

Something you might want to include is the way line weight is commonly used on weight bearing areas.

[@Kaztooo]

Been asking myself for years of drawing that should you start draw a body to look like a box or a sphere. hope you answer my question.

[@mic6116]

Great but what about the thick line that sometimes separates shadow from a bright area, on the same object, and it is not because of reflected light etc...

[@kreaturs_kave]

Thank you

[@racheln8563]

That more than anything has been my most insurmountable barrier as an artist-my teachers would tell me my line weight was lacking without telling me what specifically I needed to do to improve. In other words, where to put the thick lines and where to make them thinner.

Is there a way to learn drawing from step A to step Z? since most of the youtube i saw are not really specific much, it feel like all over the place?

[@ProkoTV]

There's, unfortunately, not a one-size-fits-all path because of all of the different styles that fall under "drawing". I recommend doing figure drawing and anatomy study early before trying to tackle complex rendering so that you're not spending your time trying to properly render bad forms that will never look right.
