Do you know how to improve line weight. I usually draw lines over the existing ones, but sometimes the lines' trajectory gone wrong.
Hi!
A good training is to practice superimposed lines, ghosting every line before committing it to the existing one(s).
I usually do this during my warm up with the Ellipses in Planes, because it gives me a mix of curved and straight lines.
It takes a ton of practice to develop a consistent accuracy though.
but i'm still at 250 box challenge.
Superimposed Lines and Ellipses in Planes are Lesson 1 exercises. You can definitely practice these during your warm ups while tackling the Challenge.
Good luck with those boxes.
I greatly appreciate your feedback. ????
I think there are two ways you can accomplish thicker lines for better line weight. One is with the method you talk about, trace over the lines. If you struggle with this method, a good practice can be tracing the same lines over and over again, while trying to be as precise as possible. The second method would be pressing down harder on your pencil/using thicker pens. I do slightly discourage using multiple markers as they might not be available all the time, but whatever suits you, you should try!
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
