        @Erin-Cortese looks good to me! Varying line weight intentionally is not easy!

          Daily accountability, experimenting with which pen works best for intentional variation in line size: haven’t found one yet 😬A72425FA-17C1-47E2-90A4-B302ACA0E6C8.jpeg

            @Geoffrey-Anderson I did both solo lines and group lines practice (very similar to stuff Jake showed in the inking video) for the week one, and now I am focus on taking some of these practices into inking an actual drawing. To make it simpler for myself, I do not come up with a new drawing everyday, just take one of my favorite characters done by other artists (in any medium), trace it, and start inking.

              I'm trying to find a couple of inking gears beyond thickest and thinnest. Right now I have a car with gears 1 and 5. I need gears 2, 3 and 4 as well.

              Also, really focussing on contour lines is really helping me to remember how basic shapes are suppose to be interacting with each other.

                        Here is my updated practice. Today I remembered that I had a watercolor brush pen that you fill with water and I thought, "Hey, why not try it with ink?" It worked rather well at least until the brush gets too much ink and I either couldn't get fine lines or it just blopped all over the place. (Grammarly does not like the word "blopped". It is too a word! I can say what I want.) But I did really like the expressive lines I was able to get out of it.

                        @Braden-Hallett one of these days I will be able to do the alternating thick-thin lines like you do and them not look like I am having some sort of tremor while I work them. (By the time I do I may actually have a tremor from being 107 or something πŸ™‚ )

                                  @chrisaakins really great work. You got the line work on that dragon pretty dang crisp.

                                      It's because I was literally a teacher for a few years :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:

                                        I think I may be having an easier time of it since I'm doing it digital. A real brush pen's a lot harder to use πŸ™‚ (in other words your lines look pretty darn good to me!)

                                          Here is Thursday's practice. I tend to draw and paint very fast but I am finding that slowing down really helps with the finer details. Too quick and you bear down too hard. So, you are right @Braden-Hallett but @Aleksey I have to do straight lines faster or I start to wobble a bit. I guess I need to strengthen those core art muscles πŸ™‚
