This simple outline trick will make your art pop
Added 2025-09-15 15:14:48 +0000 UTCWhat really sells the 2D look and makes this artwork pop is the lineart setup of the flower. Here's how I did it. π
When I applied a simple outline to the flower it didn't look quite right. It looked too noisy.
I wanted to recreate the look from this artwork, where the outer outline looks stronger than the inner lineart. π
So I added 2 lineart modifiers to the same object to have different line weights.
I added a thicker outline on the outside using the Silhouette edge type.
And a thinner outline on the inside using the Silhouette edge type but inverted. βοΈ
And when I combined them it looked like this.π Different line weights add so much depth to the artwork.
So remember to vary your line thickness to make your artwork more interesting.
