It's something I've searched for the answer for, but while I think I know what the problem might be I'm not sure how to fix it.
In drawing my comic recently I noticed - and I've noticed it in some other peoples comic work as well, that my figures look really flat, even ignoring the obvious proportion and anatomy flaws etc, the figures, even with shading applied, have a distinct flatness to them.
So I'm trying to figure out what it is that makes an image, drawn without shading or colouring, have that feeling of dimension. I know I've seen the words 'overlap' and 'line weight' used, but even when I try to get that I seem to just not know enough about what I'm doing to get it to work.
Does anyone have a simple explanation, or know of some tutorials I could look at?
Thanks :)
