As artists, line quality plays a crucial role in our drawings. Developing good habits early on ensures that our artwork leaves a strong impression. In this lesson, we discuss 6 habits to help you achieve good line quality. You’ll learn how to avoid the common mistakes, find a comfortable speed, follow-through, ghost in your lines, rotate the paper, and use simple strokes. Remember to practice these habits while sketching, and check out the full Drawing Basics course at proko.com/drawing for more in-depth lessons, projects, and demonstrations.

  • 00:00 🎨 Artists use lines for various purposes, from early-stage placeholders to guiding the eye in final drawings. 00:26 🚫 Poor line quality can negatively impact a drawing and form bad habits if not addressed early on. 01:07 📝 Differentiate between brain-dumping lines and lines for presentable drawings to develop attractive line quality. 02:18 🖋️ Practice drawing with tapered strokes at a comfortable speed, aiming for fluidity, relaxation, and confidence. 03:42 ⚾ Follow through with your hand after each stroke to improve accuracy and impart energy to the line. 04:53 🌬️ Ghosting lines-practice the motion without making a mark-to achieve clean, confident strokes. 06:58 🔄 Identify natural and awkward angles for drawing lines; rotate the paper or adjust your posture accordingly. 08:23 📏 Utilize simple strokes like C curves, S-curves, and straights for constructing complex lines, enhancing accuracy and fluidity.

  • Missing: warm up with blind contours. When you draw without looking at the paper you have to draw by feel, which makes you pay a lot of attention to how you position yourself and the tool. This is what every piece of advice to "feel the line" actually means - literally feeling the pressure and friction of the mark.

  • I’d say I’m more of an intermediate level of artist. Took art classes for a few years, and have been drawing and painting for four years now. Just recently getting into digital art with my first digital tablet: a Huion. Love these videos though, great refresher. No matter what skill level, if one hasn’t drawn for awhile, usually it comes back with repetition and muscle memory. But I’ve found it always helps to go back and retouch on the basics and fundamentals. Great content.

  • Rotate your paper is very important. I learned this from my grade school art teach 40 years ago. My 10 year old self being a lefty had issues with getting good lines. He was super helpful. This one thing has always been a big help. And now with apps like procreate rotation is easy.

  • “Searching lines” would be ok for a gesture drawing. To capture movement or to give the art a certain energy. Also it would only really be useful in the beginning stages of the drawing. But ultimately those lines will need to get cleaned up so I see why you used that as an example of what not to do generally speaking.

    @speedbagboxer7451@speedbagboxer7451 Жыл бұрын

    • A lot of artists don't clean them up and they are part of the finished drawing. They are the best part.

  • Been drawing all my life, but those are good things to practise and keep in mind. It's also important to try new material or techniques. Learn by the "rules" but when you create your own art don't box yourself in with those rules, they're more like tools. I dunno why I'm writing all this.... 🤔 most people probably know all this. Cool vid tho! 👍
