This is a great explanation. I never had the words for it but letting them breath is the best way to describe having fading lines. Thanks for sharing!!
thx so much , for this.. i've been doing line and wash sketches for a zillion years , and never had the words to describe the process , as well as you do.. it always amazes me how much character and life a line can convey .. thx again , Marc .. Norakag, here 👍👍👍
My pleasure! I’m always looking for effective ways to communicate art concepts and it’s good to know that this resonated with an experienced and skilled artist such as yourself.
Fist time I ear about breathe in drawing and II am very please to learn about it. Thank you so much for sharing generosity with us and have a nice day Marc .
I am careful when lines join, they become tangent and confusing very easily. Cross-hatching should be minimalized. To adapt smooth straight and contour lines to produce clarity, shading with various pencil and pen sizes can produce softer blends, less harsh, and easier on the visuals. I say this because I have had to forego cross-hatching to learn how to skillfully draw smooth lines. But I enjoyed Marc's video to remind us that drawings can fetch a greater effect when care is applied. Thank you.😊😊😊
@@mkompan i don’t actually know what he worked with.. i’ve been using it to study figure drawing so it would be interesting to see a fountain pen adaptation
@@gingrr.junkie That would be interesting. The slightly nervous style he uses in his books manages to be both clear and visually interesting, a difficult balance.
Now while I understand what you mean, I gotta say that of the two drawings of the sitting man, I vastly prefer the first, "not so good" one. Perhaps my tastes are a bit weird. :-)

Fascinating. It's amazing how much outlines can change the energy of a drawing.
@@AeternumInferis thanks! In art, little subtle things can make a big difference.

You're welcome! There are other rules of line, of course, and avoiding tangents is also very important.
i’ve been curious what you think of Bridgman style and if you’d do a video with your take? could be a cool video
The George Bridgman style of drawing the figure? Did he also do one and ink work?
