Answers: How do you use line weight in drawing?

Varying line weight makes a drawing more interesting and communicates a more complex story.
Using thicker outlines around subjects emphasizes their shape and makes them stand out more.
Thickening lines at corners and edges closest to the viewer and lightening them as they recede creates a sense of depth and mass.
Using a heavier line on the shadow side and a thinner line on the light side indicates the direction of light and shadow.
