If I'd like to enphasize that box A is in front of box B then I shall make the red lines thicker and blue lines thinner?
-
If that is the case, how shall I make two different line weights when drawing a line containing both red parts and blue parts (like one of the edges of box B)?
-
Shall I add line weights by drawing the same line two times? It is very likely that if I do this I'll get two slightly fraying lines, just like the ones in the super imposed lines exercise.

Thanks for the reply. I'll stick to the required method.

Thanks for your critique. It's quite helpful!
Remember also that you can add lineweight to the parts of outer lines that overlap with other boxes to clarify which ones are on top and which behind...
I actually have a question about the lineweight here. For example in this drawing.
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
PureRef
This is another one of those things that aren't sold through Amazon, so I don't get a commission on it - but it's just too good to leave out. PureRef is a fantastic piece of software that is both Windows and Mac compatible. It's used for collecting reference and compiling them into a moodboard. You can move them around freely, have them automatically arranged, zoom in/out and even scale/flip/rotate images as you please. If needed, you can also add little text notes.
When starting on a project, I'll often open it up and start dragging reference images off the internet onto the board. When I'm done, I'll save out a '.pur' file, which embeds all the images. They can get pretty big, but are way more convenient than hauling around folders full of separate images.
Did I mention you can get it for free? The developer allows you to pay whatever amount you want for it. They recommend $5, but they'll allow you to take it for nothing. Really though, with software this versatile and polished, you really should throw them a few bucks if you pick it up. It's more than worth it.
