Unlike "line work" that might focus solely on contour, dynamic sketching emphasizes: Thinner lines represent highlights or distant edges

The process of building an object from its core gesture, shape, and structure into a fully-realized drawing is a key focus throughout Hu's curriculum, ensuring that the final drawing is built on a solid, logical foundation rather than guesswork.
