I tried inking for the second time in my life...
It failed...

Curse my unsteady hand! If I do it quickly, it goes out of place. If i do it slowly, I put too much pressure and it becomes shaky. I really gotta change my style of drawing <_<

You've just got to find the right medium of speed
Cus as you said, too fast = out of place, too slow = wonky lines
Of course it takes practice unfortunately

It's not really changing you drawing style, but changing the way you draw
If that makes sense

That and because I scribble alot. Even my lineart is messy, especially (not always though) at more complex pieces of work that I am unfamiliar with. I guess that's part of learning I guess. I wonder if I should take art minor at university. Although I'm not too keen, my family members recommend me...

Practice drawing with a pen to start with?
I've found my drawing has improved when I've just been doing scribbles in pen rather than in pencil
As I tend to get a bit pedantic about lines in pencil, because I want it to be just so

So does my mum a lot - want me to do art courses,
Cus she's not happy that the majority of my work is anime XD
I'm not especially keen on doing art courses myself
I prefer to just do stuff and try and learn stuff when I feel like it
Like with my experiments with doing realistic drawings for my partners story characters on my other account

I certainly didn't start inking like that straight away XD

Yes! Now the secret is out XDDD
Inking on the computer? Yeah I've tried it
Looks alright, but I guess it's because I'm not used to it

This is really help me with my inking!

I mainly just go over the lines in Paintshop, but that's really time consuming.

Ryu-Ka In reply to Tumbtoia [2008-11-29 11:42:33 +0000 UTC]

That's great ^^

Yeah, especially if you don't have a tablet XD

I find it's easier to do it by hand, rather than on computer ;D
