I have seen artist be most successful two ways. 1. Scan a nice line drawing and float it above your rendering on multiply mode. 2. Scan it and redraw it in a program like Sketch Book Pro which has really nice thick to thin drawing tools. If you want constant line weight for each line then using paths in Photoshop would be the best.
Keyword: atmospheric perspective! Thank you. Started to take this drawing thing more studiously and your channel is full of life and academic experience tips.
Absolutely brilliant! Also enjoying your How to Draw book currently. Certainly very appreciated that you show these pieces of work and go through them in such depth.
Scott, I love the way you "explain" what you're doing with a drawing, and I like the way you write out some information regarding your drawing. I also like the variation of thickness with your line work. This is one that helps a drawing stand out.
This was so helpful to me!! I had noticed in my own art that things definitely looked better when I gave emphasis to where objects were intersecting and overlapping, but I didn't have a system for when to really darken more and why... Thanks for making this video!
What an incredible exercise! Honestly I find the process of going through the scroll and seeing how you worked out details and expanded on the concept more interesting than the discussion about line weight.
Wow! My jaw is on the floor at your level of draftsmanship! On a roll of brown newspaper no less! So amazing! I will definitely be subscribing to your gumroad tutorials! Thanks for uploading 😊
Fantastic lecture! I've absorbed every second of it and I thank you for taking your time to do this video, I shall apply this knowledge to my work from now on!
now that is interesting. I never quite knew how to go about line weight. just drew clean thin lines and wondered what was missing. shadows, colors, perspective, couldn't figure it out. and when I did try to do line weight on whatever, it didn't seem quite right either. but this right here gives me some ideas and insight on how to go about it. thank ya much!
Really informative, I feel like I learned a lot! And now that I know what to look for, I really love these drawings and all the thought and design that goes into them. Thanks!
Before this video, I have absolutely zero concepts of line weight, and this video just improved my sketching skills by 1% instantly, gotta practice more to get the next 99%. Thank you so much for this making us better at sketching.
Thank you for the advice on line weight pertaining to overlapping and atmospheric perspective. I was sceptical about the overlapping part, but it works
Great Video! Still looking forward to your books. I have had them on pre-order for almost a year now. But, I don't mind waiting, I know you are doing your best to make it the highest quality. I think we can all appreciate your efforts in putting it together and also giving us these free tutorial Fridays! Thank you.
Finally a good explanation of how to use line weight! Scott, if you consider doing more basic tutorials like these, that would be greatly appreciated. Amazing. Thank you.
Great the lines, I am finding that I like to see art, that does not hide the process and still have the roughs in there. Love the dialog of what you were thinking and why. Thank you.
I hate drawing mechs but after watching your videos, I realized how beautiful and interesting it is. Thanks so much for sharing your passion. You are very inspiring.
Excellent video! I'm currently taking basic drawing at a community college, and we learned the basic hierarchy of line weight just a few weeks ago: distance, tension, and light/dark areas. Before that my work didn't really have any line weight, at least not applied with knowledge of how and why artists use it. The difference it makes is amazing, drawing in line becomes so much more fun.
This is a delightful lecture! Such a difficult subject and i really liked your approach on it. My linework is pretty haphazard, but now I really feel i've learned something - and now onto practice! Thank you!
fantastic vid. I have been doing similar line weight for a while now but I realized while watching this that I have been getting more and more into thickly outlining the whole "item" which leads to the drawing looking too cartoon like. I am deff hoing to try to steer away from that. loved these drawings and your linework is so very captivating. thsnk you for sharing this with us.
Treasure, nice to see piece of works/art that's preserved. Interested also on the background,history of your design, inspirations etc. Thanks for uploading and sharing, I'll check on your other vids some other time!
Cool video scott, i was thinking about line weight the other day and i really had nothing to sketch with that would help do it on the fly so i had a look around and found pilots parallel pen so i am going to give that a try when it comes.
You are the Leonardo davinci of technical perspective drawing (specifically for mech/scifi styles) thank you so much for these videos and for your books!
Awesome tutorial! I'm a beginner to drawing, but loved this approach to understanding line weight...I really like unique approaches to tutorials.... It makes them all the more interesting. Great job!
Hi Scott, I base the weight of my lines primarily on light and shadow. Whatever line is closest to the light source gets the thinnest line and whatever gets the least light gets the heavy line. Of course I thin ALL of the lines out as the object gets farther away but I still maintain that rule of dark=thick, bright=thin. Thanks for the priceless tut's!!
Awesome... love these... The principle reminds me of those infographics you see, where the outer stroke weight is thicker than the details... very interesting. Thanks again Scott.
That arrow pointing to the right that u drew was close to perfect. Thanks for sharing and making this video.👍 All the detailed information definitely opened my eyes, now i know what im doing wrong with my drawings and how to fix it. 👏👏👏👍✌️
Wonderful sketches and design process. I will be using this as inspiration and reference for my clases. Scott R. among the best of the best outthere! thank you!

Holy shit an actually useful art instructor on youtube
What about jazza?
@Lucca Thiago thats illegal lol
No, I was into a bunch of graphic novels at the time but I cannot remember now who the artists were. It was 17 years ago after all.
5:44 most perfect line ever drawn with BARE HAND!
Keyword: atmospheric perspective! Thank you. Started to take this drawing thing more studiously and your channel is full of life and academic experience tips.
DaVinci called it.... mmm. “Sphfumato”? “Sfumato”?
Purple mountains’ majesty. Right?
These drawings remind me of the detailed yet cartooned designs for the game "Advanced Wars". They're so believable and imaginative.
Absolutely brilliant! Also enjoying your How to Draw book currently. Certainly very appreciated that you show these pieces of work and go through them in such depth.

Thank you Scott! This was the first proper tutorial of line weigh usage in design I have seen. It was very helpful!
Aside from being informative, that was very pleasant to watch. Thanks.
Love the backgrounds, they give a nice context to your awesome machinery, thanks for sharing!
you're an excellent teacher, Scott! Like Feng Zhu, the information is easy to digest and flows consistently. Thank you!
What an incredible exercise! Honestly I find the process of going through the scroll and seeing how you worked out details and expanded on the concept more interesting than the discussion about line weight.
Fantastic Video. I bought your book "How to draw.." last month and definitely one of my favourite books ever. Would recommend anyone.

Thanks Mr. Robertson. you rock!
Line weight is so freaking important it's crazy. Great video . I needed this for Traditional AND photoshop
