#lineart tutorial

[loafbud]

How do you get such thick lineart while still having sharp edges? Like on the amplify piece?

for my method of achieving this, i use two things:

a really thick brush and the eraser tool!!!

to erase, i use a hotkey to turn my brush transparent

it gives my lineart that jagged, crunchy look! aside from doing the "draw-and-erase" method, i also draw my lines more angular so it can boost the sharpness :]

Line Art Tutorial by Artsytsaa

“Hey Artlings! 🧋here’s my beginners lineart tutorial in which I teach you how to draw Perfect line art in procreate and any other program with streamline. I show you the secrets to do smooth clean lines and get rid of that chicken scratch and how to actually make your line art look like your sketch! While it can be as simple as using the classic line technique, there are a lot of things that can help you have the best lineart experience ever! These are all the things that I wish I knew when I was making manga style commissions and trying to get clean lines as a not so clean artist. As this is a #beginnersarttutorial I will be going into some depth of some settings that might be, and while my lineart is technically not perfect, this information in the right hands (aka someone dedicated to line art) will definitely be able to make their lines perfect.” - Artsytsaa

Just posted a free tutorial on Patreon. We recently had an impromptu lineart lesson on stream and I decided to expand on it a bit. Includes a download link for the video, JPG examples, and brushes I use!

See the difference?

Adding variating thickness to certain areas of your art-- like around silhouettes and bulky clothing-- helps give your art more depth and dimension. You can experiment with line weight if you feel like your lineart is too flat or missing a certain je nais se quois. It's a simple tip, but it's something my art has been complimented on numerous times for and does wonders in improving lineart!

Lineart Tips Part 2 Copy Paste Transform Lineart 🌹 (Subject: Ruby Rose from RWBY reimagined as a Reploid from MegaMan Zero aka my RWBY MMZ AU) Never be afraid to use the tools and functions your art program provides you. They're there for a reason. While there are some artists who prefer to draw things by hand, not every artist who uses digital art programs has the patience for that. Sometimes the Transform tool is helpful for fixing up some corrections of a drawing like fixing the perspective, making the drawing upright, fixing the position of the drawing, etc.

Do you have any tips on drawing the neck? Also I hope you have a good day :)

How do you draw the bodies? I know you made a tutorial on how to draw the helms, but I’ve just gotten into transformers and I’m struggling with the mechs😭

i made this in advance LOL hope it helps

[stroobooree]

Very messy and bad lineart tutorial I made a couple days back. I hope this is helpful to someone even if it’s a bit incoherent LMAO

Take my advice with a grain of salt, of course. I wouldn’t want anyone to think that my way of doing art is the only “right way”. There is no right way to do art! Just make art!!! Dingus!!!!! /lovingly

A friend of mine introduced me to a new art program yesterday and it is my new favourite thing, so I had to draw at least one Feanorian to properly test it out :D:D:D

I haven't seen any posts about this yet but l've seen some fan art that makes me feel this needs to be said:

Don't forget Leah Sava Jeffries has darker skin when making Annabeth Chase fan art!

She is much closer to Lupita Nyong'o than Zoe Kravitz when it comes to shading, reflection, and complementary color usage :).

Lighting for dark skin is different on light skin. Light skin gets changed by lighting, and dark skin reflects the lighting. Below is a lovely shot of Nyong'o's character from Wakanda Forever in mourning. The filmmakers emphasize the umber qualities of her skin in contrast to the funereal white and (arguably harsh) light across her shoulder below.

Try to pick spots that aren't directly in or near the light, and try mixing 3 or more! You can put it into a color mixer online, or even color pick, lower the opacity, and lay the shades over each other until you find one that fits. And of course, the more 'realistic' you want to go with shading and lighting, the more shades you're going to want to be able to explore vivaciously :D.

Let's take a look at the same 3 beautiful actresses I mentioned at the beginning, with a bad color picked area and a better-ish color picked area. (Please keep in mind, these are not perfect comparisons, as I was not able to find pictures of all 3 actresses under the same kind of lighting.)

Kravitz's has a clear difference between the two, but they aren't too far apart, in comparison to Nyong’o’s and Jeffries’s. Note the dullness in the poorly picked shades as opposed to the better ones. Also keep in mind that while Kravitz has a rosy undertone (at least in that picture - it’s from The Batman, which has stylized coloring) Nyong’o has a slight cool undertone (I can’t pin down quite what, but the picture is definitely not stylized like Kravitz’s).

Jeffries runs more ochre or russet, but neither of those are pink. They are more red than terracotta or umber, but to call Jeffries’s face rosy would be wrong. Err more towards the golden when drawing her.

^^saved an image from a writing tutorial long ago, but can’t seem to find it. If someone recognizes it, I’ll link it. EDIT: it’s from this post. Thanks @autumnrowancollector ! <3

And also, the darker skin gets, the less likely warm undertones are going to appear. Don't be afraid to use blue or purple or even green on occasion!

Additionally, cool lighting on dark skin is always a win imo.

(I was going to use that picture of Jeffries as Annabeth by the lightning bolt, but then I realized the lighting on her face doesn’t quite match up with where it should hit from that angle, and I realized they kind of just turned everything bluer, so screenshot time!)

(Also if you want another really great live action example, check out anything Aldis Hodge is in, like Leverage and Black Adam)(and of course there’s Spiderverse <3 but I want to post pictures of Hodge)

Now, to here’s a list of more experienced people’s advice:

Black facial features & hair

Shading digitally for a (somewhat) monotone Black character

Stylistic choices and places to start looking for inspiration (besides a search engine).

Coloring Black people’s lips

A better coloration tutorial

Also a nice tutorial for Indigenous skin tones, just in case yall want to draw Piper or use this information for other dark skinned characters :).

EDIT: Some actresses who are closer in skintone to use for Annabeth, provided by the lovely @blackfemmecharacterdependency ! If you can’t find a reference for Jeffries in a specific lighting, maybe check out these ladies’ pictures! It’s a reblog, so scroll down.

TLDR: Don’t make Annabeth pink and pale, make her dark and golden.

Lineart fun on IbisPaint pt. 1 🌹 (Subject: Ruby Rose from RWBY but reimagined as a Reploid from MegaMan Zero aka my RWBY MMZ AU) When you're using IbisPaint on your phone/tablet using your finger/stylus w/ no pressure sensitivity on a tablet, the best way to simulate pressure sensitivity/ add more weight to your lines is by drawing over them (and erasing as needed). It also helps to draw the lines in different layers AND colors so that way it's easier to stay organized and not get layers mixed up.

You posted a teeth tutorial on your old blog an i would come back to it all the time but can’t find it anymore for some reason :,0 could you post it again maybe ?

oh man that thing is ancient hahaha I kind of cringe looking at it now because it's definitely not perfect but I suppose it wouldn't hurt to pull it out again
