Learn comic drawing techniques focused on line weight and shadow placement in this lesson, which emphasizes the use of line weight and shadow to bring illustrations to life. Watch as @DavidFinchartist explains a simple, effective design pattern for a comic panel. Dark lighting outlines the figures, opening up in the middle to draw focus. Foreground elements frame the panel. Line weights and shadows add depth, with thicker lines for closer elements and thinner lines pushing elements back. Compositional shadows frame the main figures, while the dark foreground and light background details maintain focus. Minimal rendering with shadowing and detail creates depth and dimension while keeping the basic composition.
