Reader Question How Do I Vary Line Weight In My Animations

Hannah asks:

"I can't get my animations to look liek the ones I like on TV. My teacher said I need to use more line weight to make more depth and vary it more. I don't understand what that means. I mean I look at it and I get it with the tapered lines, but I can't figure out how to do it. Help?"

It's not that difficult to vary line weight when you remember that line weight is just line thickness. There's more than one way to approach the issue, though, and a variety of tools you can use to create varied line weights in different mediums for a richer, fuller look to your art and animations.
