TRUE. Im done with the sketch and i take it off and i get extremely disappointed, not just in the sketch but my drawing skills all together.

[@AmberMaytions]

Ouch… yep, know the feeling. I tend to look at the sketch… then look at the lineart… the sketch is definitely better. Maybe if I colour the lineart?? -colours lineart- Ummmm nope. Sketch is still better. Oh, shading! -shades with the airbrush tool- …what was I thinking

[@bruniipain]

_that's a slap on the face_

[@vairulee2445]

For this I actually came up with a semi solution! I typically keep my sketch layer on low opacity and color over it in a separate folder until whatever I'm drawing is completely rendered. This way, I'm able to trick myself into not noticing how weird the lineart looks, and when I'm done, the lineart blends in with the coloring so that I don't have the, "ah yes, I've created a trash" effect. Of course, style and other factors come into play, but I find this method helps me the most other than throwing lineart out of the picture completely lol

[@Z0Z33KY]

amateur artist here- what's the difference between line-art and digital painting? ngl i thought they were the same thing.

[@user-mr9oq4kd6z]

@@Z0Z33KY Okay so I can explain it through the digital medium. Lineart is when you sketch your drawing then make a cleaner version of it by outlining all the parts of the drawing then erasing the sketchy parts and leaving the solid lines. Since this takes too much of a tedious time to do though, I usually prefer to do just digital painting, which is when you draw the sketch but then, instead of outlining the drawing, you lower the opacity of the sketch layer then just paint over it with the paintbrush tool.

[@joajelkal]

@@user-mr9oq4kd6z idk why but, lineart seems to be so much easier in traditional art for some reason, i just think its just the phisicality of the medium. What do you think?

[@user-mr9oq4kd6z]

@@joajelkal I disagree, I think it's even more harder when it's done with pen and paper. At least on digital art you have many tools you can use to edit and fix the line art.

[@theseangle]

@@user-mr9oq4kd6z imo when you use for example a marker to lineart your sketch irl, even though you have only one chance, it's much easier to have near perfect lines. Maybe it's the texture of the paper and the feeling of friction that you don't have with a graphic tablet?

the pain when you finish the actual line art but then you realise that you either: 1. did it on the wrong layer 2. found a dot somewhere 3. realise its wonky 4. you accidentally messed it up by over doing the line art and details 5. hate it. the worst part is if you did the mistake first coz you would have to redo all of it .

[@NyoomMonster]

As long as nothing is beneath the eye in the wrong layer, ypu cna duplicate the layer, isolate the eye, and then on the other layer, delete the eye. You can also just erase dots. This is how I do line art faster.

[@sriissyracha]

[@emb5091]

I relate to this deeply. The sound of the ctrl-z/undo makes me want to crawl up into a ball in the corner of my room. I want to start digital drawing, but it's so different from pencil and paper!

[@syares6470]

It's a learning curve, something that helped me immensely when I first switched from traditional to digital was drawing out a sketch on paper, taking a picture of it and sketching over it digitally. Over time I stopped drawing over the sketch and would just have my drawing pad open on the side and would practice bringing the image on paper onto the digital canvas. I found it works best with just sketches rather than finalized traditional pieces, otherwise I would get frustrated trying to do things like colors and lineart too early rather than focus on getting used to the new environment and how to draw.

[@bluebeka2458]

Yup, seems legit. I wanted to share this. So one day i made a digital drawing and i thought it looked perfect at first. (It kinda took me 2 days to make cuz i'm that bad at art. Also it was a drawing of a human guy.) And after a month i stumbled across the same drawing in my phone. And i was like "The frick is that swamp creature looking thing?" So i ended up changing it like 5+ times till i finnaly thought it looked ok. 😅

[@dailinelily]

My hand does these weird uncontrollable twitches when I write and sometimes it happens over my art. So sometimes I do a good line and suddenly zigzag off my path so I have to undo it/erase and continue from there.

True, I've decided to ban circle rulers for the sake of learning how to draw circles. Then I spent 1 hour on a circle. A C I R C L E. It wasn't even perfect, it was still a bit ovalar :-:

[@krispykai3986]

@@dailinelily damn I feel that. But really with enough practice you’ll get there. I used to be really bad at it but when I started focusing on digital art more I could definitely see the improvement. Now drawing a circle really only takes about 10 tries which is a lot better compared to my previous attempt ratio

[@krispykai3986]

@@okay_5927 yeah I get what you mean. I usually draw them like that but it still takes me a bit of time to draw a decent one. I think it’s just practice because I haven’t really drawn digital freestyle for long yet. I usually import pictures that I traditionally drew and trace on digital

[@dailinelily]

@@krispykai3986 Yeah, really just needed some circle sessions to be honest. I don't struggle as much these days. If I'm not mistaken I've still got the canvas where I tried to draw a circle for one hour XD. Definitely used the circle I drew though.

[@dailinelily]

@@okay_5927 I feel like I should try this. Anything bigger than my hand's range area ends up wonky and I think I need more muscle memory for the curves XD Thanks Edit: I will now be trying to draw without a stabilizer to practice my circles/lines for the sake of my traditional art as well. I guess I'll see what effect it will have?

[@zeth526]

i like how everyone in the comments is relating to this, but I'm out here not knowing how to draw a straight line

[@birb6474]

perfect straight lines arent really that important a lot of the time in art unless you really need it for a certain style or something, but for that you can just use a ruler. I can art pretty goodly but i am pretty far away from being able to do straight lines

[@extrules]

Op can't even draw a circle

[@bonnietelocole6777]

If you ever need to draw a straight line, stare at the end point as you draw instead of watching the pen. It's a good start to having straight lines.

[@yae5063]

Use a ruler in traditional or just use the ruler tool (if there is any) in digital art

[@samuelromero5786]

I can't draw a circle, a half circle, a curve, a star, a straight line, a good square, a good rectangle or any part of a person or face :/

[@xxxmaysilssss690]

For everyone who uses procreate and struggles with getting clean strokes, I’ve got you. Choose your selected brush (monoline for example if you’ve got a crisp, clean art style that requires smooth lines) and then go to the adjustments on it. Select the “streamline” option and put it up to its maximum setting, and trust me, it will be like opening the door to narnia for the first time.

[@rainpooper7088]

It doesn’t just work for line art too. My sketches have also improved since I‘ve started using streamline because I don’t use a million strokes for one line anymore. This way, I can actually tell which lines to follow for the line art and end up with much more readable art. Use streamline, people. It’s not cheating.

[@alwayshavebeenmoonsun]

Me suffering with ibis Paint X: why me...

[@xxxmaysilssss690]

@TheSevenSouls it depends on if you actually post traced art. I think tracing is pretty good if you want to change up your art style due to inspiration taken from another person’s art, or if you just want to improve your anatomy in general. But of course people can’t lean on tracing for everything, and it’s especially bad if they post traced art.

[@junoismad]

@TheSevenSouls I might just be tired but when did they write about tracing art?

[@mahougesu170]

@@xxxmaysilssss690 True, although I would say posting art where you've traced over your own assets isn't bad. I think for ppl who do that there usually eventually comes a point where they feel a bit restricted and want to "take the training wheels off" so to speak (unless they're absolutely amazing with 3D models but not as great with line art) but either way I wouldn't say it's strictly bad. If you can find a way of making art easier for yourself that doesn't infringe on other's copyright, you do you.
