Oh my gosh, you're joking... That's so incredibly sweet! I'm so flattered you think that much of my art. I never thought that drawing would be loved that much.
And your art is so nice and fun! Of course I love it!

Its like impossible to not love your art, the lineart is so clean, the design is always so original and creative, the colors are beautiful, AGH I could go one forever!

(But if you could, how do you get such clean, smooth lineart!)

dawnyshurtz In reply to Optipus [2016-07-28 19:58:38 +0000 UTC]

Oh goodness... Y'know I get that pretty often and I'm not sure why. I always feel like my lines are sloppy or misshapen or too sketchy. (Especially in the case of drawings like pearl where it's a doodle that I take way too far and end up skipping steps, like proper lineart.)

But usually how I do it is I do a couple layers of sketches when fleshing out the drawing. One to establish form (pose and such), one to establish a bit more detail (usually face, hair, hands, etc), and then a final sketch layer where I add on the clothes. Once I have a fully-fleshed out sketch I get rid of the first sketch layer (the basic form), and merge the other two. I find having as much detail in my sketch as possible helps me lineart more easily. Then I use the brush tool in SAI, (blending and persistence set to 0) on the "hardest" edge, at about 90% density. I use it with the stabilizer sparingly. So about 5 to 7, depending. I never use the 'S' (Example: S-1 or S-5) settings anymore because I find they restrict my movement more than help steady my hand, but that's personal preference. I try to make sweeping gestures with my lines, piloting the pen with my wrist instead of my fingers.

If you don't have a program that has the ability to stabilize your strokes, the most important thing I think is to practice making smooth lines with your hand, and as you make your lines you can shape/sculpt them into the shape you'd like them to be by using an eraser tool.

I dunno if that helps, it's just what I end up doing. I hope it helps at least.

Thank you so much! This will definitely come in handy!
I use Painttool SAI, so I'm gonna try your advice with vector.
Thanks again!
