errrr i probabaly changed more settings than these but this is what the ones i mess with most look like atm

So knowing where you want your light source to be will usually help a great deal in deciding your line weight for you. But I also give much more depth to the spots that bend, overlap or objects that fall behind others.

My pressure curve also helps a lot in my line weight. I tend to have a heavy hand, so if you have a lighter touch this might need adjusting, but a steep curve allows for a lot of variation in your brush thickness. Make sure maximum and minimum size of your brush settings (I use the mono line brush) are set all the way to highest and lowest so you really get the entire range based off your pressure. From there it’s just practicing.

An exercise that really helps me warm up is the one shown below. Draw lines and circles and vary your pressure. You can try doing it so they’re all the same to practice consistency, or you can move around to practice pressure from different angles.
