Tutorial 1: How to give presence to a character

When drawing one can utilize various line weights to give different effects on a characters presence.
And in the this post I am going to teach you how to do that.

A character with a thick heavy line on the outside of the character gives the character a "here I am" appearance and means that the character is not meant to be in the background.

*sorry, I don't have an example. Picture the thin-lined example but with way thicker lines.

Similarly, A character with a thin line can easily slip into the background behind text or other graphics.

Also, a character with no lines can definitely slip into the background and offers a lighter if not slightly whimsical appearance.
