@BlackDingo86NG I use the entire ink range of my pens from 001mm to RB
for fine things i always stick to 01-07 mm pencils. There are also effects that I always prefer to draw with the 05mm pen. the RB pen is sometimes used for the runes or when I'm shading.
Maybe it will help you?
I just use the SAI lineart tool, if the lineart it's too thin i just do the same but adding extra thicness (?
For real lineart, I use pens. If it's a quick sketch I'll go with a disposable ballpoint, most likely a "gel ink" one because those glide on the paper very well. For more finished work, I break out my technical pens & load their reservoirs with ink. My pens are Koh-I-Noor Rapidographs. They can be a bit finicky at times (especially the smaller diameter points) but they're dependable overall.
Yes, I'm one of those dinosaurs who works on real paper. Drawing with a mouse is uncomfortable; once I tried using a stylus & pad...didn't like it.
dawg there nothing lame about doing traditional art , I think nowadays if your doing traditonal it makes you mor skillfull in the drawing medium. ive been a little bit too dependent on digital art and shit and I think the last time I did traditional is when Ive been using watercolors to test shit out. traditional stays number 1 !
i spray hot dookie turd shit all over my drawing tablet and it draws it 4 me... : - )
what color is it????
I use FireAlpaca. Typically I'll go in and sketch with a textured brush that has a lower stability setting, and then I'll go over with an inking brush that does "Size by Pressure", so if I let up on my tablet pen, the line gets thinner. I have a higher stability for my inking pen than for anything I sketch of colour with. Don't neglect your eraser, either. With traditional art, a stroke is a stroke when it comes to ink - but with digital, I'll make sure I get a full line by over-drawing and then erasing what went beyond where I needed it.
Idk I jus start making lines and whatever happens happens
cmon dawg
For digital work, I use a smooth ink pen brush. Brush size 20 on the outline, then I go down by increments of 5 depending on how small the details are.
For traditional art, I use whatever I got on hand. I'm usually not too picky.
first i cut my wrists, let the blood flow out of my body and when i have enough blood i start doing lineart. (i blood and sweat into my drawings.)
A very simple brush with pressure sensitivity is all i need, I thought i struggled a lot with lineart early on, i saw it as ruining my sketches but in realitiy i was just terrible all around, so make sure you have a a good sketch underneath.
Now im experimenting with no anti aliasing on the brush which gives it a pixelarty feel upclose and makes everything nice and crisp, I'd try it out you might like it
on photoshop PC i used to have a program called LazyNezumi to stabilize the line!
Nowadays its just redoing one stroke over and over until its nice and clean, or shave the lines bit by bit
I avoid thinking about lineart as much as possible. Usually I just do a generic lineart with the "Dry ink" procreate brush and then paint over it.
Sketch using a pencil, then finish the sketch using a pen with tye brush size is 4px, yeah i just use the default brush
