Line WORK

This week's project in Drawing for Animation is... textures! We've been talking about linework in terms of variation, thickness, shadow, etc, which is something I've been needing to work on for quite sometime now. We had to draw nine different types of textures - in ink - to get a feel for linework. As a result, I've been doing quite a lot of line WORK in my drawings lately, mainly in variation, simplicity, and creating silhouettes. It's a lot harder than I thought, but improvement is making it's sure and steady course!

The model in gesture drawing struck this pose, so I just played with style and line. Col-Erase and Staedtler.
