The old man piece works well with the line, it doesn't overpower there. <BR/>I also started out with using heavy outlines and abandoned them for the most part because it locked me into an Art Nouveau look (which can be nice but I wanted more flexibility), but fairly recently I've been adding line back into my work -- what works for me usually is to use line in the same color as the object it is outlining, just a bit darker. And thinner than I used to use in the beginning. I think the key is just to keep experimenting until it clicks for you!Carmen Medlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261522131619502155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7431959384106363963.post-3457776502000922802008-12-30T23:35:00.000-06:002008-12-30T23:35:00.000-06:00Ya know Pete, I had the same problem when it came ...Ya know Pete, I had the same problem when it came to black lines in the past. My solution was to change the color of my line. I now ink everything in brown/sepia. My black lines just became too dominating. <BR/><BR/>Another idea to play around with. I'm so glad to hear that the crit is helping. I don't know whats up with the comment thing....I'll see if there's anything I can do in the admin options.sara.bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218871506380758529noreply@blogger.com
