Stage 5. Precise Linework Drawing
his involves changing each line from it’s somewhat refined but still relatively rough state to super fine, clean, accurate line work (Bare Bones) representing every obvious shape (big or small) in the composition which can possibly be represented with a fine outline (fig. 1). There are a couple of important elements to consider in this process.
