Sometimes I do! Other times I might just 'paint' it in and if I feel like either the interior or exterior line is stale I'll just draw a new one (thin) and fill

man this reminds me back when photoshop didnt have the option to vary line weight in the vector tool so i basically drew out the line work as a solid shape

In some ways, the placement of the exterior line also has a lot to do with how much light is hitting the form. Usually if the facets of the model (perceptual) would face light, the shape of the line might be thinner but as those facets turn away from light, the line shape thickens and defines depth.

oh hey I do my art that has chunky lineart the same way! there's just something so satisfying about treating the lineart as its own subject to paint and build upon rather than the agony of trying to re-draw the same line over and over again when it doesn't turn out the way you wanted it to
