EXERCISE

Draw simple household objects like fruit or a coffee cup. Use thick or thin lines to suggest a light source from above. Next, draw the same object and use thick or thin lines to suggest a light source coming from the left or the right. Once you are comfortable with simple objects, do the same with more complex subjects such as faces and figures.

TIP #5: USE THICK LINES AT INTERSECTIONS

Another way to use line weight is to make your lines thicker when two lines meet or intersect. When two lines intersect, it is often because one form is overlapping another or two forms are touching. For example, when the arm overlaps the torso, I will add a thicker line wherever the arm intersects the torso, suggesting an overlap and creating a feeling of three-dimensional depth. Whenever you make two lines intersect, take the opportunity to add variation in line weight.
