All right so assignment for line is pretty simple and not very glamorous or fun but trust me it's important.
It might be monotonous but if you can master this and get it done really well it's going to make your
sketches look a lot cleaner and a lot more professional.
So through a simple here's where you're going to do.
First I need to make sure you have a brush that has a pressure sensitivity.
So if you draw lines then if you draw dark it gets heavier.
OK.
So find a brush that has I can be any brush you're going to be practicing your the lightness of your
hand right how much and how little pressure you apply.
So this is going to be to start out by drawing one line at full thickness.
OK.
I'm going to raise your pass a little bit or not there past the size you could see better.
So Serba drawing one line full thickness OK.
And then without changing the brush size just by using your hand and the pressure of the stylus you're
going to go a little bit thinner.
OK.
And make sure you want one that has size variance but not opacity variance right.
OK so go a little bit thinner and then a little bit thinner than that
little bit thinner than that and you're going to keep going until you can get as thin as you can.
OK with that one breast size without changing it.
OK.
And do that 10 times.
So do it again think a little thinner a little thinner a little thinner and I'm going pretty quick.
But take your time.
OK.
And tell you yes you can get.
OK.
So you do that.
Next thing you're going to do after you've done that 10 times is you're going to do this 10 times for
each one you're going to start by starting thick and then ending really thin and you want to make it
as smooth of a transition as possible.
Right.
So that's a good one.
This is bad.
That's not what you want.
You want to be from thick to thin.
OK.
And the faster you can get doing this the better.
But it takes practice.
OK.
So that's a bad one as last two are pretty bad.
Thick to thin.
Now if you need to do a different angle to be able to get that effect you can do that.
The next thing you do is think to fix your are really light and then get sicker ten times ten lines
for each of those.
OK.
And then what you're going to do let's clear this out of the way.
Once you've done 10 of ficta then 10 thin to thick and then 10 uniform thickness gradually getting thinner
after you do 10 of each of those.
I want you to do circles so 10 circles where you start out thin and it goes thick and then thin on the
other side.
Like that K through 10 of those and makes you take your time.
They should look like that.
You're not focusing so much on a perfect circle as you are on the line.
Weight and thickness you're trying to master control of your line away so when you're trying.
You don't have to think about it as much.
And when you're you can kind of just work as you go without having to go back and rework stuff or put
a ton of massive amounts of energy effort and energy into making sure that you get the thickness of
your lines right.
OK.
So that's the point of this.
You want to be able to do quick lines that taper perfectly and change line weight.
Right now it helps to rotate your canvas So for example if you're depende you know if you're right or
left handed It might be hard to get that perfect angle for a specific way.
Well the great thing about working digitally is that you can just rotate your whole canvas so that it
works in motion with the way you'd normally move your wrist and so don't be afraid to rotate your canvas.
So that's the assignment 10 gradually thinning lines 10 lines from thick to thin tan lines from thin
to thick and then 10 circles that start thin and thin but get thick in the middle and then you know
if you feel like you still need work on one of those he didn't master do another 10 another 20 until
you really get it.
Ok honestly 10 is a little on the slim side of things.
I don't want to overload you guys but if you really want to get good at this probably even double it
right do 20 of each of these but do at least 10 if you want to post this in a Facebook group you can
if you're having an especially hard time or you need help trying to figure out brushless post in the
Facebook group.
Otherwise there's no need to post these are pretty basic.
But I will see you guys in the next lecture.
