Offsets
To offset a line is to duplicate a line or a line's curvature a specific and continuous distance. Offsetting is a skill that will help us draw
Objectives:
Practice offsetting lines
Build confidence in marking the page
Build accuracy and dexterity
Steps
Mark your page with:
1 straight line
1 diagonal line
1 angle (two lines meeting at a vertex)
1 s-curve
3 curves/lines of your choosing
Your page should look something like this
Place your pen tip about 1/4" below one end of each marking
Make an offset line in one fluid motion, mirroring the line/curve as you draw.
Try to maintain a constant distance between your pen and the marking
Don't forget to ghost before you commit to your line
Make at least 3 offset lines for each marking on your page
Take 2-3 minutes to create your offsets. If you finish early, make more offsets of your lines until your page is full.
