If the lines are slightly more defined or thicker, you can guide the eye directly where we want it to go (A) or if you want to create perspective, similarly, a heavier and more defined contour will give a sense of closeness (B).Ĭonversely, diffused and thin lines for the objects that accompany the composition indicate to the viewer that they are not your protagonists (A) or represent things far away (B). We can use the composition to help highlight an object. Keep in mind, the thinner the line, the more intense the light feels (C). Strong strokes in certain areas of your figure will create the feeling that light does not reach this point (A).Īlso by varying the thickness of the lines on one side of the figure, you might suggest shading (B).įor light, we use fine lines or open spaces. There are countless other objects you can do this with… The petals are delicate and light (A), the rocks are rough and heavy (B). Lines can give a worn look (A) or a new look (B) so it is important to keep in mind what you want to represent and make them act in such a way. Notice how the thickness of the line at the bottom is accentuated to simulate some shade, and give it some more weight. You know that it is a fragile, trembling, transparent figure and that at any moment it could … Poof! Burst!Īnd if you do the opposite, it may look like a bowling ball. For example, if you want this circle to look like a soap bubble, then thin and imperfect lines (which have the attitude of a bubble) are what you are looking for. Lines are capable of representing any type or volume of materials, so you only have to vary their thickness, direction and attitude. Or even a little undefined, confused, or dirty with a bit of texture! Perhaps calmer, more delicate, clean and fluid … Maybe I want my drawing to look aggressive, to show speed, power and strength … What idea or feeling do I want to create? * Stabilization: This bar is a life-saver! It makes small adjustments in the line to avoid shakiness, so it is great for when you want to make long and uninterrupted lines – you only have to increase or decrease the value as much as you need.
Here I increased the density progressively until we get to 100%. * Density / Opacity: With less density or opacity the lines become more transparent. You can see how it affects the strokes in both cases.
* Hardness / Anti-aliasing: This softens the edges. (A) Maximum size, (B) thickness with the minimum pressure. * Brush Size: The thickness of the line varies depending on the size of the brush and the pressure we exert on the pen of our graphics tablet. Let’s take a look at a couple of basic Clip Studio Paint brushes: the Darker Pencil and the G-Pen. I could say “It depends on what you want to do” but that’s not good enough, right? The good thing is that they all share more or less the same configuration panel. Obviously, there are millions of digital brushes, and each one has a different function, so there is no correct answer to this question. Here are some tips to give more character to those lines. But your lines can have as much personality as your characters, so it is very useful to emphasize or highlight parts of the illustration, direct the viewer’s gaze and create movement. The outline is a fundamental part of the illustration and sometimes it can get frustrating, especially when you see that your sketch looks better than the final version. What idea or feeling do I want to create?.
