what are your brush settings for lining? your lines are gorgeous
tbh I only use the default pen settings in SAI;; The only thing I change is the size! I used to not like digitally inking because I could never get them as neat as I could with a pen and I’m a stickler for line cleanliness. I think the wobbly lines had somewhat to do with the lack of traction on the tablet surface or something, but! BUT THEN I realized this existed
IT IS A LIFESAVER. It keeps your lines nice and smooth. S-2 is what I usually work with, though the higher the settings get, the slower your pen will move. I’m pretty sure Photoshop has a similar feature, but I don’t know where it’s lurking.
Anonymous asked hydrae: wow, your artwork just blew me away. i’m sure you get this a lot (heck, i saw your answers page, you DO), but your lineart skill is wonderful! consistently the lines are super smooth - even on all the rounded edges or long lines! but the one thing that i think i enjoyed the most was the way you draw hair. it just flows really well and looks natural all the time. do you mind if i ask how you learned to draw it like that? whenever i try to, the lines never look like they’re placed correctly!
jdshkfds thank you! Q__Q UM!! I can’t really describe how I draw hair because I’ve been drawing it like that since I first started actively drawing, pretty much! I wish I could explain, but I really don’t know how to.
Though it’s likely because some of my formative influences in art were Revolutionary Girl Utena, the Sailor Moon manga and way old school CLAMP because I was a giant weeaboo, and all of those were essentially love sonnets to ridiculous, flowing hair lbr.
