How To Draw With Line Weight

There are multiple ways to separate a drawing with line weight, even within the same drawing. Watch the full lesson here on YouTube!

One of the most critical points to line drawing but not often emphasized.

interactable objects in games be like:

This is very common in old animation: any object that a character is interacting with has a very heavy outline, and sometimes looks like it's on a completely different layer to everything around it, so it draws your attention😊

Bro really started with Art Nouveau went to his example spun over to a kids show and tied it all with Kim Jung Gi. What a variety<3

Coloring a drawing used to be my favorite part of the drawing process but after learning how to do linework properly it's actually the funnest and most relaxing part to me. Sometimes I don't even want to color my drawing because I prefer just the linework. 😅

This is why I still do lineart despite it being the slowest part of my drawing process. The lines can add a lot to the drawing

Rest in peace Kim Jung Gi, I've seen so many people inspired by his work, I'm sure he will be remembered for a long time

this reminds me of how some objects in games are often emphasised amongst the background to show that you can interact with them!

Kim jung gi is such a legendary artist, I'm blessed to have lived to see him live drawing.

I remember doing this to my art in Jr high. My art teacher graded the drawing with a note that said 'dark lines don't make art". 10 years later, and it's a part of my artstyle. 😂

I am so so glad that we're in this topic now. I am really struggling to do this stuff.

Rest in peace forever and always,

TYSM! line art my absolute favorite. But the difficulty with it is that the width always represent shadows and forms also. Not an easy way to draw from life. Plus it needs a huge amount of creativity.

The koi fish tattoo on my leg I designed like this; the koi itself has the thickest outline, the (japanese style) waves he's swimming through have a thinner outline. So do the cherry blossoms trailing it.
(Did the same for a traditional b/w rose tattoo + a traditional style b/w diamond)
I love that it emphasizes the shape - and it draws your eye to it (even though roses and diamonds are some of the most basic oldschool tattoo elements you can have tattooed)

Also:
No mention of Alfonse Mucha? (: (I was kind of expecting that) Love the explanation, though.

IMHO, line hierarchy helps a figure/ object read quickly and smoothly (it's my jam), but it was way too "pre-meditated" for an artist like Kim Jung-Gi to use consistently, often requiring multiple tools/ PS brushes. He really seemed to value a more stream-of-consciousness style, with his one brush and some homemade ink wash.

Instead, he seemed to have used it as a loose guideline and made sure anyone who spent extra time visually processing his art would have tons of delightfully textured detail to digest. For him, it was probably an easy trade. 🤙🏾

I was using this in my art style unconsciously. This actually explains it very well. Thanks.

I discovered this trick instead of discovering how to properly use line depth

This is something I actually noticed when watching Fairly OddParents as a kid

I always used to play a game with myself when watching spongebob that involves the use of line weight in the shows art. If anyone has ever seen the show you've probably noticed most of the background art has very little if any line weight at all. But objects that the characters would interact with would often stand out a bit more. So I'd try to guess what objects in the scene would be interacted with before they are actually touched by the characters. Weird I know but it was kinda neat to see.
