Description Juuss my process of lining, since that's a commonly mentioned thing This actually is a bad example, because the face is so small scale - so basically on like the back and the butt and the tummy, i have even looonger strokes to get dem big curves

AUGH i'm so behind on messages - and rps for that matter IM SO SORRY I WILL GET BACK TO YOU I PROMISE

I use this style of lining too! So much easier to just erase the extra bits x3

Can you actually draw that smoothly or is there a setting that smooths out the shakiness???
I've heard it both ways
If you do have something that smooths the lines, what are the settings or where did you find that?

nope, no setting; the whole purpose of this technique is to avoid any shakiness. however, if you use Illustrator, it automatically corrects shaky lines.

Ughh I hate lines, this is really helpful though!
Just wondering, looks like your brush is at size 22px, how big is your canvas? o.o

I start off usally with a 20 x 20ish px canvas at 300 dpi for lines, then I usually scale it down by half as I finish it up for a smaller uploading file

I see, thanks! I'm always a little confused woth what size to choose and my lines end up kinda pixelated, so I'll try that!

NO PROB - oops and i made a mistake, I don't do 20ish px, I do 20ish inches! BIIIIIG DIFFERENCE ALDJFLAFJFAL LOOOL, but usually having 300 dpi fixes fuzziness!
