    Well, i'm a professional artist myself. I can say this is one of the very rare examples of true helpful basic secrets i've never seen taught before.
    Many good Artist do those lines more or less, but in most cases unintentionally.
    Very thanks for sharing this!

    3. Listen while creating a mindmap in my (first!) sketchbook (with the help of my notes) :D

  • @Marcotonio
    @Marcotonio 7 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    Eh, interesting. Most advice I've read around tell me to avoid "chicken scratching", and to aim at continuous lines, doing them in one confident stroke (also the ghosting technique someone mentioned below). This tapering technique is a new approach to me, I'll definitely give it a try! I have noticed more control in my hands after I started to ghost, but it's not really safe when it comes to complex curves in an almost-finished drawing. Maybe blending both would be a good idea.

    • @ArtofWeiHo
      @ArtofWeiHo  7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Yeah, they all work as long as you have good hand control. So that's the key, practice so that you develop hand control

    @pawssum 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I think there's a big difference here between chicken scratch and this technique. This is quite deliberate; chicken scratch is a lot more aimless and sloppy. I think trying to draw as much of a continuous line as one can is best practice, but sometimes there are just lines that are too long or cumbersome to do continually, without being super-human, using a ruler, etc. This is a great technique when applied judiciously.
