    Lines! They’re a lot more complicated than you think and in this lesson, we’ll break down the different types of lines you can use and how you might use them when drawing. It’s important to understand that every line you draw has a shape, value (how light or dark the shape is), and edge (the transitions of the borders). With lines you can represent ideas about objects in space and even convey emotions! If you enjoy this lesson and want to learn even more about lines and other drawing fundamentals check out the premium course - proko.com/drawing

    Im 30, and i started drawing as soon as i picked up a pencil. I often stagnate and feel like my progress is either lessened or I feel as though i should be better considering when I started drawing. I've always been self taught, learning tracing at first, then free hand copying images, and usually only drawing anime, cartoons, or a fusion of realism and cartoon faces. Your videos just inspired me to learn more realism and practice more often.

    I think sketchy and uncertain lines tend to stem from some level of aphantasia (like glen kean). Lots of searching and relying on the lines we put down to find the ones that make sense as opposed to the ones that sometimes we're expected to already see in our heads. I'm pretty sure I have some level of it and, as a result, I do a lot of searching to find my lines. It does get easier with practice thanks to muscle memory and breaking complex objects into their basic shapes. It just means I'm slower than I want to be.

  • @Yiwuyao-lr2io
    @Yiwuyao-lr2io Год назад

    Thanks for the great video, Proko.
    But I still got confused with lines. I can use contour lines and construction lines to draw a cube, without any shading, but I can't just use these two kinds of lines to draw a litlle bump on a skull, as well as any other organic volumn.
    I come up with the conclusion that without setting a light source or using cross contour lines, we can't express organic volumn.
    Please correct me if I'm wrong. 😵‍💫

    If he's not already mentioned: The artist Kentaro Miura.
    His work is an excellent example of how to use linework to express not only detail - grotesque, beautiful, and everything in between - but also MOTION, which very, very few can match. He's also an example of artistic growth, as in the beginning he was detailed and ambitious, but while certainly competent, hardly all that remarkable in pure skill, but by the end of his life he had become so good that each panel, no matter how small, was a shockingly detailed and vibrant masterpiece.

    @partingmist8550 Год назад +1

    I like to argue about how 'lines' are actually really narrow shapes. Idea is touched on in vid by calling shape a property of line. Its a bit funny though since shapes have more dimensions than lines. Would it be better to conceptualize shape design to include these very narrow shapes?, or are these narrow shapes so distinct from the not-so-narrow-shapes that it really is better to think of them as something other than shapes?

    • @vishtem33
      @vishtem33 Год назад +3

      Outside of extremely constrained media types like pixel art or tiny thumbnails, I'd say that [thinking of line as a (painted shape) rather than a (drawn approximation of a infinitely precise vector)] is part of how to get from 'correct' to 'clean'. By which I mean it's a marginal payoff until you're already reliable with more basic things (big shapes and proportions).
      I'd say it's actually a definite problem to think that way routinely, if it's too early in your development, because it makes things more technical than you have developed the ability to deal constructively with. Proko's "lines express ideas" is a good framing because it pushes you away from narrow focus on technique.
