Continuing with my Clip Studio Paint line drawing tutorial, this exercise, again closely based on an example in the Tips for Digital Outling! tutorial by Eridey, is intended to show how a thicker line can suggest that a subject is in the foreground.
The figure and the landscape are taken from two sketchbook drawings. The landscape is line for line like the original, except that I moved the house, which would have been hidden by the figure.
The man with the bag was a lightning sketch of a passer by but I had to change the perspective as my composition required a low viewpoint. As I firmed up details from the quick sketch, he became more of a countryman. With those hills behind him, I couldn’t help thinking that he might be a character in a James Herriot story.
