CLARIFICATIONS 🧋1. DPI ONLY HAS TO DO WITH PRINTING, CANVAS SIZE is what will make the difference My mistake, it is more important to look at the canvas size. I was misinformed when I created a canvas at a smaller dpi and thought it affected the pixelization, when it was the canvas size that was making a difference. (900 by 900 vs 3000 x 3000) Thanks to those in the comments who informed of such (some of you nice others not so much 🥲😆 ). 2. IT IS BETTER to have LESS STROKES in the first place, than a ton of undo/ redo. When I was learning how to make "perfect" line art, technically impossible as humans, it was actually for a very specific manga type style on an ipad for commissions. Any line that looked out of place and resized would be pixelated therefore I would keep redoing it til it fit, and developed this technique. This will work for art that require this amount of cleaness, like a coloring book. As a habit many artists should practice having clean, confident lines in the first place so we don't edit a ton. Thats why many of us, including me today, don't even have a lineart layer. So as a traditional exercise you can even practice drawing with intentional lines from your arm in pen a lot so you have to live with your mistakes :> (like me HAHA). 3. the Tips in here apply even to traditional art and other softwares Such as clear, lower opacity sketch, (use putty eraser more) drawing from the arm, and reducing friction work in most digital art softwares, you DON'T need procreate. Also the above clarifications doesn't mean the rest of the techniques are wrong. These techniques still genuinely helped me to get better at line art, soemthing that was a weak point of my mine since my art is usually on the messy side. I'm really happy that it's helped many of you! TLDR just read points. :> Thanks for the love and see you in the next artventure!💛💛💛

Hey I know this was awhile ago, but what brush did you use?

Tip to save you from future wrist pain: train to hold your pen differently. If you hold it in the classical posture gripping it more with the tips of your fingers (between thumb tip and pointer finger/middle finger), you can draw small details by moving your fingers instead of your wrist. Some schools don’t teach pen postures and then people end up suffering their whole lives due to never having learned more efficient and gentle ways of holding pens, so I thought I’d share this technique in case someone finds it helpful. ❤

Thanks for the tip! :> I have to work on this grip, sometimes I still feel the pain but in a different part of my arm, hopefully I can master this grip later on 😅

Tho there are new studies that show that no matter if the grip is (unless it’s a baby fist grip) works. Be it tripod quadropod And so on. The schools forcing to specific grip are bit out of date, The most important part is that, the pen needs support, it needs to be stable, and the grip should not bring in cramps after few mins of work.

5:23 I was studying Akihito Yoshitomi, a great mangaka who posts his process on youtube, and he doesn’t go at a medium pace. For long strokes, he goes slow with more pressure to kinda feel out the direction of the stroke. Then he really quickly, precisely finishes the stroke. In his videos the sound of the pen is very apparent, and there’s a specific combo of sounds that I’ve found is the ultimate lineart trick. It goes sccccrrrrrh-SHIUSH. (Bear with me here, it’s hard to replicate sounds in text lol. Watch one of his videos and you’ll hopefully get it) So yeah! I think it’s good practice to draw the lines as fast and energetic as you can without sacrificing precision. You can do line excercises too, enabling you to draw faster lines more precisely.

@artsytsaa

Жыл бұрын

Interestingly, I feel like I can hear what you mean 😆 though digital and traditional can also have different techniques with the medium pace being the good one for brushes with streamline. When I watched his work, I considered many of his strokes to be medium pace, but I get what you mean about fast and precise lines. Either way, practice is a sure fire way to precision 👍

me, a person with no lineart or even sketches: yeah, that's exactly what i need there's no videos with the technique i draw in so i watch everything

Just dropped by to say that I am absolutely infuriated with myself. I spent y e a r s wondering why when it came time to draw line art, it came out awful. Turns out putting effort into sketches is beneficial lollll Seriosuly thank you! It feels like I just whipped through a years worth of practice, all because I took time to actually put love into my sketches instead of trying to scribble out a vague outline of what I'd eventually want!

Don’t worry it also took me years to figure out how important sketching, planning and even thumbnails makes a huge difference 🙃😆

people who just use their sketch as their line art:

The day i realised that line art =/= tracing literally changed my life. I’ve stopped trying to trace any of my work, and sometimes, my line art looks as messy as my sketch, but it just looks so, much better.

Sounds to me like 99% of the problems you listed have to do with muscle control, in which case we aren't perfect, so embrace the imperfection with your art. Strive to be better but always remember you can't be perfect. There was once a time when you would have thought that it was perfect and would have been ecstatic to be able to do it.

This has definitely changed the way I think of doing line-art now, this was so useful!

I’ve been on a week long deep dive into drawing videos and this is one of the better tutorials I’ve seen all week.

Thank you so much! I'm still a beginner artist(and don't really have many art tools)so I'm not the best at drawing just yet, but I will make sure to keep these things in mind the next time I do draw! I'm sure it will help me improve my lineart and art in general a lot!😁❤️❤️

this is actually the most helpful video i’ve come across so far. i’m new to digital art and i was having such a hard time. thank you SO much!

This video answers all my questions. I’ve been looking for a content to fix my lineart for a very long time. This is very helpful. Thank you.

Can't be understated how useful brush pressure is, having lines which aren't uniform in width do a lot for the personality of the final product.

I've been recently following Mika Pikazo and LAM for inspiration for my lineart and creating my style. I love the slightly wobbly, broken like lines they use. Especially for when they draw the eyes, what most people would see as a mistake/imperfection they use to give the eyes more depth and body.

Thank you so much for the useful and brief tutorial!!!

Amazing tipps, really helpful, and chill vibes - thanks!

Oh my god, this tutorial is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!

(2:35) Ps: you can actually make one of those with a sock, I made my fist one like this and it worked just fine:)

Use hight resolution canvas. Make sure your sketch is correct enough before proceed to line art. Use minimum opacity of your sketch when working on line art. Use your elbow as pivot. Draw with shoulder. Use glove to reduce friction between hand and tablet. Draw with medium speed (too fast less accurate, too slow wobbly) Clean up: liquify - push or edge Still need to recorrect the line art : lower down the opacity and redraw in a new layer until satisfy.

This is incredibly helpful thank you.

This is so hopeful thank you!

Cool tip for those using Clip Studio. You can make your lineart layer a vector. This treats every line like an object that lets you skew, thicken and thin, or even change the brush type of every line after the fact. On top of that, you can have it cleanly and automatically delete the ends of overshot lines.
