I Need Some Assistance

<div class="IPBDescription">Line thickness</div> I generally do NOT know when to use thick lines or thin lines despite drawing for around 6 years. Could some of you give me a few tips to utilize different line thickness?

Like giving some sort of tips for a mechanical look? Or fine details?

I'm surprised I never learned anything about this <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Ive drawn for anyone? Anyone?
Two months take more then give.
IF you get inkining pens there are some pressure sensitive ones, pushing down harder with it would give it a bigger line.

I never make thick lines. Ever. Just don't do it, it usually looks bad.

Depends completely on the style you're shooting for. If you're going for realistic, you probably want to have no lines anywhere, but rather just have borders directly between colors. (I mean like red | green not red | blackline | green)

For lineart or mango-style drawing, the line thickness is determined by how much emphesis you want on that part of the figure, and, naturally, your style. Powerful or foreground figures get thicker, darker lines, background figures get thin or light lines, creating a depth of field. Even when just sticking with one line thickness, what you choose will have a great effect on the outcome of your final piece.

But, as with any art style: just play around until you figure out what you like. In this case, it might be pretty easy: go scan a line art drawing of yours, import it into something like photoshop, and use the pen too to create all the lines. Then try "stroking" all the pen lines with different weight or even shaped brushes, and just keep undo/redoing until you like what you see.
