I'd like to add a tip that was a game changer for me: after you finished that gorgeous sketch, put that layer in really low opacity so you barely see it. That way, you'll clearly see the lineart you'll be doing now and nothing more, and will know when and how to add details. How many times you think your lineart is done and when you hide/delete your sketch layer it looks hideous because your lineart is missing that messy sketch effect😂 This video is gold, like the previous one about the brushes. Thanks good sir for sharing the knowledge

[@digitalmagician]

That’s a really good tip! Thank you 😁

omg I just noticed plenty of mistakes I was making, thank u so much for this video!

[@RyuuChan3821]

One thing I started doing is exercises to warm up my hand, also I try drawing with my whole arm or elbow, another thing I do now is draw the lineart more zoomed at and another thing i do too is I don't use line stabilization.

[@GhostlyAberrations]

Another tip I would give to someone similar to me try using brushes that aren’t something you would typically think of for line art I use to not like lineart much until I ended up making my own brush that was originally made for sketching, but I loved it so much I ended up using it as a line art pen and maybe play around with opacity because I’ve learned for myself I’m not the biggest fan of my Line art being full black opacity basically what I mean try some other stuff differently from the typical line art pen like the one shown in the video because the ones like that personally for me I just can’t do even though I love line art now but it doesn’t mean you can’t do it because if that works that works baby

[@deddrz2549]

anice advice! Though I kinda don't like how the triple lines look, like they work for your style but I probably wouldn't do it myself

[@LPendergast_]

Happy to help!

Draw in high res, always save as 1000 by 1000. Also sketch without stabilization, just do line art with 100 stabilization, do not overthink it, that easy.

5:24 it so annoying for me bcus obvs I don’t want to buy a £150 Apple Pencil, but the pencil I have isn’t apple so I can’t have line weight :(

[@GhostlyAberrations]

Yeah, I hated that before I got mine you can fix it by just going over lines various times like he stated earlier

[@mrpickles-hb6zx]

Use ur finger like I do

[@stitchgor3]

[@esutaa-]

may I ask what the yellow pen holder thingy is called? and where can I find one? I’ve been looking for those for so long😭

[@digitalmagician]

It’s called a Plus Ergo Grip. You can get them here www.plusergogrips.com Just make sure it’s compatible with the pen you’re using 😊

[@digitalmagician]

Here’s the compatibility list www.plusergogrips.com/compatibility

3:13 this causes a lot of pain in my elbow, how do I fix this

[@randomnickify]

Change your drawing posture, if this doesn't help visit a doctor.

[@Splat654]

Bro, the nose and lips on your thumbnail are in one perspective, while the rest of the face is in another.

[@paulinak8124]

If your lineart sucks stop drawing lines. Think of shapes. Like a painter.

[@GhostlyAberrations]

Your art is beautiful
