Figuring out where and when to use thicker and thinner line weight makes your drawing more interesting and communicates a more complex story to the viewer. The problem is that it can be confusing to figure out how to apply line weight to your drawing if you don’t know what you want to communicate. In this lesson, we’ll go over the hierarchy of line weight you’ll want to think about when you’re drawing. All these methods we’ll cover are just tools that you can mix and match to fit your taste.
