This document discusses line weight techniques used in coloring book pages, specifically contour portraits and still lifes. Thicker, darker lines are used to depict areas of shadow or objects closer to the viewer, while thinner, lighter lines show fine details or objects in the background to convey depth and detail through line variation alone.

This coloring book page has some nice line weight. Notice the heavy lines used to show the folds in the fabric of the cape or the smaller, thin lines in the hair.
In this contour portrait thicker lines are used in areas where there is more shadow– under the nose for example.
Notice the depth and detail achieved just using line. The outer edge of the hand is darker while the fine lines and wrinkles are smaller and lighter.

In this still life the objects closest to the viewer are darker and fatter while things in the background are considerably lighter.
