- Not using line art was something I learned after watching Rhinotuna draw on Twitch, this helped me realize that there is no right way of drawing, just do whatever you find easiest. This is one of the reasons I always recommend experimenting with your art.
Thanks again for watching the video, and get drawing you got this!

Funny you are the first I have seen talk about this, I don't use line art because all the way up to a year ago I was an analog artist so I always used Pencil and just refined my sketch. when I first started getting use to my pen display and drawing programs I watched tutorials to learn how to use them and SO MANY people would sketch then just draw over it in a new layer and make their art look worse, and I couldn't understand why, especially when many times their line art layer ends up looking sterile and stiff, but their sketch was so LIVELY and expressive
Yes, I had the exact same problem, I would always have the super dynamic sketch that would then end up looking stiff because of the line art, as soon as I found out you don’t need to do the traditional line art it made such a difference,
Hope this technique works for you as well, it’s really fun to use the sketch this way,
Thanks for the comment!!
@@CalebArtyHi! What app do you use and how do you move the body parts easily?
@@Kopie0830 I use Photoshop on PC, I recommend clips studio too it's really good, also for moving the body parts I tend to work off one layer, so I am able to move everything at the same time, that said you can use a special lasu tool on some softwaresm, that allow you to move everything even if it's on different layers. Hope this helps, good with your art!! ❤
@@CalebArtyThanks bro for the comment I really appreciate your clarification.
@@CalebArty stop acting pregnant
Finally SOMEONE said this, I've been doing this for ages but and some people just thought I did it to be lazy. But it adds so much more personality and movement to the art itself.
Yeah exactly, for me refining my sketch keeps so much more movement and gesture from the original sketch, I’m glad you liked the video Mallow and thanks for the comment!! ❤️
Those people don't know what they're talking about. There's no 'correct' way to paint (except ai of course)
It IS lazy, don't lie to yourself
@@AccelSternritterIf the drawing genuinely looks better without line-art, than it is not lazy. But if the drawing looks worse without line-art, than it is lazy. (My opinion, not a rule)
I remember seeing some speedpaints where artists do this cleanup phase of their sketch instead of doing lineart. It does seem pretty effective. There is also cleaning up the lines AFTER you've finished adding your colors and establishing your lighting. Merging every layer into one and polishing it all off at once. This method being actually one of the more popular workflows for most artists, known as "Overpainting"
I always hated doing the lineart and just ignoring it and using a clean sketch instead has majorly improved my art, happy to see other artists talk about this as you often don't realise that you're not limited to a specific technique just because of medium.
Exactly, that’s the reason I wanted to make this video, i’m glad I’m not the only one to try this, keep up the good art!!
FACTS
I always hated linearting and now I see that you can actually use a refined sketch for art that's what I'm gonna do
to me the thing that helped with making the linework look good and actually better than the sketch (as opposed to worse), was focusing on line weight.
Yeah line weight can be super useful to learn too, I find when I erase the sketch, I choose how fin I would like the lines to be, basically doing a form of line weight, and it makes a good bit of difference, thanks for the comment ookami!
@@CalebArty I mostly draw analogue, and I usually go over the sketch once with my standard 0.3 pen, and then I do a second pass through to thicken specific lines with a 0.5 pen. I’m still figuring out digital though. even with etched glass and a felt tip stylus it’s more slidey than paper and pen.
Remember people, this method is usually only effective for those that sketch using confident smooth lines and not little chicken scratches as some people prefer.
It can be used for those types of sketches, too, but they'll be MUCH harder to clean up. At that point you might as well just go with lineart instead.
Very true, it’s way easier if you do your sketch with a thick brush, but as long as you remember that it will work just fine!
Thanks for the comment AStixMatism, didn’t think to mention this in the video, but it’s a good point, cheers 👍
That is what I thought because my sketch is exactly like that...
I think both drawings are cute. The no line art method is quicker and looks more like a natural drawing, the line art method looks more detailed, but kind of hard to see the lines.
Yeah it’s funny how different the outcome can be just by changing the lineart, thanks for the comment JimmyPoopasin, love the username btw 😂
I feel like the issue with inked lineart not looking quite as good as sketched lineart comes down to a matter of practice. Basically, I feel like most of us are really used to sketching (whether it be idle doodles in our sketchbooks, traditional pencil drawings, or just laying out the sketch-work for an ink drawing), while we have comparatively less practice inking our sketches. The result is that concepts we've intuitively picked up to make our sketches better are harder to translate to our inked drawings.
To use your side-by-side comparison as an example: The core difference between your sketched and inked drawings is the use of line weight. Namely, the sketched lineart has a really good expression of line weight to differentiate proximity, focus, material weight, etc., while the inked lineart has much less distinction in line weight, both in terms of extremes (the thickest inked lines are about half as thick as the thickest sketched lines) and consistency (ex. her sleeve has a highly varied weight in the sketched lines, but pretty uniform weight in the inked lines).
Now, I don't say that to be overly critical or anything, but rather I find it interesting to observe _why_ so many of us think our sketches look better compared to our inked lines. At the end of the day, the best way to draw is to do whatever works best for you, and I definitely agree that sticking to sketched lineart can be a lot easier for a lot of artists (after all, that's just how pencil artists draw). Speaking personally, I'm just so reliant on absurdly messy sketches that lineart is more of a necessity to make sense of all the nonsense, haha.
Brilliant comment Vurrunna,
I completely agree that the best way to draw is to do whatever you find works best for you and is most comfortable.
It’s really interesting what you mentioned about line weight, I didn’t personally notice it but it makes perfect sense so great observation,
Thanks again for the informative comment and keep up the good art!!
You’ve nailed it! 😂lately ive been using pencil like brushes to keep that sketchy feel and refine the lines
I think a big difference is that the line art was pure black while the sketch wasn’t. The sketch had a lower opacity so you could layer on top of it, and when coloring you let the colors affect it as well. Also, the sketch had thicker lines with more line weight variation, which also helped. Color and line weight can add a lot to line art, maybe the issue isn’t line art itself, but how you’re approaching it.
I'm a pretty religious thick lineart user, and inking is generally my favorite part kf the process, but I really enjoyed your presentation of this! Subscribed, hope to see more soon!
Thanks for the sub Taylor, I love the look of thick lineart, it can really make your work pop!
I tried to clean sketch instead of drawing line-art on top of it and it turned out so cool, I have never had so live line-art! thank you!
Nice one, that’s brilliant Lili, I’m happy my video inspired you to give it a go!!
Keep up the great artwork okay!!
I have always been doing line art since i started doing digital art until i switched to this technique a year ago and it really help me focus more on other things and save a lot of time. I would say it’s definitely not for everyone but it works well for someone like me.
Yeah exactly the same experience with me, I agree this technique is not for everyone but I hope the people that it works for are able to discover it, as drawing like this massively help me out. Thanks for the nice comment Spacebar, keep up the nice art👌🏼
Love the way you explain and draw things. Find myself smiling by the end of each of your videos.
Underrated creator, and a comprehensible way of explaining things. Just subbed
Thanks for the sub Mole, it’s appreciated!
Woahh. Dude, you seriously deserve like 100k subscribers. This is actually very good advice, it's easy to understand, and you get to the point. I love it!
Ayy glad you liked the video 100k would be crazy cool, I’ll keep trying my hardest to get there, thanks for the nice comment and keep up the good art!!
the video quality is fantastic! i was honestly expecting atleast 10k for this channel and i was pleasantly surprised on how underrated it is! i love your videos and i love how you just get to the point and how clear you deliver! new sub and like! ❤
Thanks for the sub Rotten olives, also love the name 😂
I’m glad you found my video useful, ❤️
I am honestly so surprised with how fast my channel has grown, I can’t wait to make more videos!!
I've usually preferred my sketches to my lineart, even if it does come out less 'crisp'. Line weight can be fun, but I only like the end result when I use a marker brush. (It does feel like I'm doing a marker sketch rather than lineart tho. Maybe that's why I like it?)
Yeah that might be why, line weight can be fun I enjoyed doing it on the lineart version for this piece, keep up the good art and thanks for the comment!!
I’m really really happy someone pointed this out. As an artist who struggles with impatience doing lineart, this was a really helpful video that encouraged me to sketch instead, which really makes art a more fun process and not having to deal with so many layers. Thank you! ❤
Brilliant, glad you found the video useful, thanks for the nice comment Limepact and good luck with your art! ❤️
One thing that can help with lineart is to reduce the opacity of the sketch even further to where it is near invisible. That way the lineart is more like a cleaner sketch as opposed to robotic tracing with a loss of detail, gesture, and character. Remember that line variation and that being a bit messy can make it look better. Little "mistakes" won't be visible zoomed out in the final rendered piece. Naoki Sensei showed that completely erratic and skribbled lines still work when it is coloured.
Basically, try doing lineart more like a sketch. That or clean up the sketch. Process down to personal preference and desired outcome/style.
The line-artless one is exactly how I wanted my drawings to look like! I see it more charming
Thank you very much! maybe It would have taken me years to realize
I like that instead of just saying that "line-art no" you provided both pros and cons of it. Great vid 👍
Thank you, I didn’t want to say one method was better than the other, I want people to draw however they feel suits them best,
Thanks again for the nice comment and keep you the good art ❤️
After enough times being told how clean my lineart is when I was showing someone what for me was a sketch, I've stopped doing lineart stages completely and it's honestly the best thing I ever did and made me actually enjoy doing art again
THANK YOU, line art never worked for me because I can't draw a proper line, be it straight or curved, just can never make it go where I want it. I feel so validated now.
my sketches tend to be very detailed and linearty since I’m used to traditional art more, so one of my favourite art techniques with digital art is either to just.. colour the sketch, or do the basic shapes- like the head circle, get a basic outline for where the body and limbs will be, then make a new layer and treat it like a sketch. I don’t usually need to redo things like hair or facial features when they’re done, the only thing ruining the final piece being that head circle with the cross and the limb lines lmao
sketchy art styles are seriously underrated though. as cool as some lineart styles are, I just love when things look sketchy- it gives them a rough and messy look while still looking refined and I love it
Yeesss I love sketchy art styles so much, just like you said the rough and messy look while still being refined look is so good!
Thanks for the nice comment and keep up the good art! ❤️
Thank you, I really needed to hear this! I’ve only been drawing for 7 months, but I forced myself to learn to draw and render in a semilrealism style because I thought that was what was popular on the socials. Now though, I’m struggling to break that habit, but realised that I WANT my lines on show but my line art is too crisp and clean for the simplistic but detailed painted effect I actually want. This makes so much more sense than going over everything with clean line art and it losing that initial flow and character.
I started out with traditional art and so much of my "lineart" was just a cleaned up sketch - now with my lineart digitally I still treat it like a sketch and end up liking how the lineart looks that way mostly because it was really hard for me to get super clean lines and steady lines because my hands shake with arthritis and yet everyone tells me that sketchy lineart is the "wrong" way to do art and was just "holding me back"
I think the one where you sculped the lines of the sketch looked much nicer! I think its because i just like the bolder lines silhuetting around the bigger shapes of the drawing. 10/10 very cute!
Thanks for the nice comment Astryca, I like the border lines too!
I think this is a nice look into digital art and the traditional mindset just feels off when you can separate everything into layers, combining multiple steps into your finished artwork, the sketch, the color, the linework, everything is adjustable and that's digital's big strength
I'm a traditional pen and ink on paper artist, I color in post in Photoshop over the ink drawing I've made, their are no layers for me when inking on paper, I just ink and hope for the best, I sketch in ink, I draw in ink, I can't take anything back, it's an experience different to pencil.
One way of making art is not better than the other, they are simply tools used to make art and the best I've found is combining both tool sets together, like your layers.
I don't know if my rant made any sense but to those that read, hello. Have a great day
THANK YOU SO MUCH, this has been one of the must frustrating things ever, I tend to like my art when i don't lineart, but i'm like "but i'm prob just doing it wrong" smh. Thanks a bunch!
The way I do my “line-art” is first doing a really rough sketch with thick walls just to get a quick with a general position of outlines, then I use a slightly modified syrup brush from procreate to do outlines and clean them up by adjusting line thickness and so with different erasers. It ends up looking quite sketchy but curated at the same time, but I like it.
It’s like a mix between the two where I still do line art but in a sketchy way.
Another tip you can do is paint over your lines with a darker color close to the adjacent colours you’ve painted in already. This way you can turn it into a painting that doesn’t rely on line art at all.
Ooo i’ll definitely have to try this out.
Thanks for the suggestion! ❤️
Being left-handed with a right-handed tablet lent itself really well into just refining sketches because every program I've used has transparency bound to a convenient key on the right, VS eraser on the left of both the keyboard and tablet. Pretty quickly led to me just touching up sketches with the same brush rather than lining on new layers, it's far quicker too and stops me obsessing nearly as much about the exact shape of my lines.
Sometimes the easy way out is the way that hurts your potential.
If you choose a method, ask yourself whether you have made a careful decision, or you are just being lazy.
My art always looks terrible with lineart, so I've always just used my sketch layer. thanks for covering this! im mostly a traditional artist, and i'm definitely better at it but I really want to move in to digital so this has helped a lot! new sub and your art is amazing!
Thanks Marylily it’s appreciated, definitely give this method a go, Its a bunch of fun.
Thanks for the comment and keep up the great art! ❤️
As a small animator
When I draw for a frame
I have to draw really quickly
Thus I just adjust my scetch and skip the line art
I thought it was a bad thing
Thanks for this video! 💙
Ooo I love animation, glad you found the video useful and thanks for the nice comment ❤️
I'm also getting started with animating and this sounds like it could also really help me, but I'll probably have to adapt to draw better sketches(like less chicken scratches, etc.) so it doesn't look too jiggly
no way only 2.5k subs? i thought you had like 100k with this kind of quality.. this was pretty useful, subbed!
Really resonated with a lot of what I've been feeling in regards to sketching & lineart. Glad to see I'm not the only one or just doing something wrong! Lovely motivational tutorial
The nice thing about line art is you can use the paint bucket to color. It's the putting in colors by hand that drives me batty.
Yeah that is a nice benefit haha
It`s the situation where both options are VERY beautiful to me, and I cannot decide what style I prefer more.
Thank you, me neither, it too me a hour to decide which one to use for the thumbnail haha
Thanks again for the nice comment ❤️
The sketchy image still looks like lineart but just larger and softer brush. Lineart doesn't have to be thin inked, it can be dynamically sized as well
Thank you for the video! Please keep going, I love to watch you draw. ❤ And I loved the advice on your last four videos too!
Thanks so much miwiarts, I’m glad you like them, you keep up the good artwork too ❤️
I do this as wellll!!! this is amazing!! good advice! also damn both look so good, but it is defo about how you want to approach it!
Yeah I agree, I didn’t want to say in the video that one method was better than the other because there is no perfect method. I’m just glad people are able to learn something new from my videos, thanks for the nice comment PuffySmosh!
Simple yet really dense topic in relatively short video that easy to understand, well im subscribed!
That song at the beginning sent me back to my yogscast days.
Hahah yesss, I had to sneak that one in there, it’s such a nostalgic tune.
Love the yogscast so much, they definitely inspired me to make my videos,
Thanks for the comment HawkBro ❤️
This video just validated my entire art journey... I don't enjoy lineart because it takes longer and when I take too long on a drawing, i get impatient and start to rush it, so now, what I'll do is clean up my sketch, slap on a clipped layer and have fun with it.
Yea have fun with it, glad you’re enjoying your art keep it up!!
Man 2 years of drawing lately barely any progress...and you are the only one the more i listen to the more things make sense.
U have no idea how much I needed this, thanks so much 😭😭💯💯
Thanks for the nice comment and keep up the great art okay!! ❤️
This is what I've always done as well! Time and such aside, the real reason I prefer to refine a sketch over do lineart is that the energy carries over. Sometimes I can lose sight of the energy of the drawing when I finish the lineart and turn off the sketch layer. In the beginning it felt like I was being lazy, but seeing this video helped validate the way I do it. Nice work!
Yep, that’s exactly the same reason I do it, I find it carries over so much more passion from the sketch. Just like you, I would lineart and then end up disliking the end result because of how stiff it would appear. Making this video helped me realise that I’m not the only one too, thanks for the comment and keep up the good artwork!
Yt needs more content creators like you! Love the positivity! You got my sub😊
Thanks Lotrpottergirl!! I really appreciate the nice comment, and thanks for the sub ❤
🎀 I'm absolutely LIVING for your energy and enthusiasm in this video, no time wasted just directly to the point, and you keep a nice fast pace while being fun af to watch
Thanks Mayhoinville, I’m glad you like my enthusiasm!
Thanks for the nice comment and keep up the good art work!! ❤️
It's interesting to see how similar it looks to what I like doing from time to time, being not doing the sketch (just making guides)
You draw the big shapes, then add details, erase and refine!
I'm also quite of a maniac on putting everything on a separate layer, helps with complicated masking for later
I honestly like doing line-art, I enjoy it as a part of the drawing process, in my opinion it is nicer. But I think you are brave for going out and stating your opinion and trying to help others! Keep up the great work man! I also refine the sketch, then line-art :)
Thanks for the nice comment, it’s appreciated.
I came at the video with more of a “give this a go, it’s fun,” instead of a “if you use lineart your wrong” because I really think people should just do whatever they feel comfortable with and works best for them.
Once I found out about refining the sketch, making it into lineart it really changed the way I drew, so I definitely wanted people to be aware that of this technique. But yeah I was a little nervous it might be taking the wrong way.
Thanks again for the nice comment, I’m glad you understand what the videos about, keep up the good artwork!! ❤️
I’m soo glad someone has finally talked about this. I face the same problems while doing line art and it makes me want to RIP MY HAIRRR!!!! Yet, I do like both with and without line art. Once again, thanks for making this vid and keep up the good work!
I love watching art videos knowing that I never will draw for some reason. But yeah, awesome stuff, can't believe you dont have more subs!
man, I don't feel like I could ever get to this stage. Adore the art style!!
Thank you and you can, we all start from zero so don’t stress, keep at it and you will be an incredible artist. ❤️
Thank you and you can, we all start from zero so don’t stress, keep at it and you will be an incredible artist. ❤️
I've always liked my art best during the sketching and colour blocking phase. It just feels more alive, and your brain naturally fills in so many of the gaps.
Going in and doing line art ruins it for me.
I’ve been considering this for a few days, and I actually think this will work for me!! This video is totally my sign to start using my sketches instead of lineart
Thanks for the tips!
Yes give it a go, it’s really fun to try and if you feel like it works for you that’s fantastic, after I learnt this it completely changed the way I draw, so keep up the great art and thanks for the nice comment!! ❤️
I do this even when I did traditional art. Lineart always looked ugly when I did it and I realized I like the sketchy feel always in the end.
Aah I appreciate this video. I have been trapped in the loop of sketching and line-art, but never coloring or rendering ;w;
You got this Crayelah, give it a go it’s fun to try.
Thanks for the nice comment and keep up the great art!
As someone who is a somewhat beginner(I kinda consider myself between beginner and intermediate) artist, wow. Honestly I suck at line art, and seeing someone say “You don’t need it” is like someone making someone believe they’re using something they aren’t. At least that’s how my 2 am brain is seeing it. . . Anyway I wanna say thanks for telling me that I don’t need to mess up art I started off as good!
I used to spend hours learning specific techniques, that got me absolutely nowhere because the person in the CZcams video Said, I had to learn it to be good at art, so just relax and do whatever you find works best, definitely try the techniques but you don’t have to stick to them just use what you feel most comfortable with.
Keep up the art and you will be good in no time you got this and thanks for the comment ❤️
@@CalebArty Thanks! I’ll really try it
Turns out I've been doing the no lineart method for awhile, I mainly just found it redundant to draw again what I just drew over it & instead just edit the original sketch
I've always had been pretty bad at line art and felt that I needed to do it but I'm happy that it's not the case as I've always loved my sketches more.
Brilliant I was always the same, hope you give this a go as using my sketch as my lineart helped me out so much!! You got this ShiningSpecks keep up the good art!
Wow you can really see the difference between the styles and the both look great!
For me personally, if you have ever watched my speedpaints, you would know that my sketch phase is too messy to do this. I don’t do chicken scratching or whatever you like to call it when doing my lines. I sort of scribble each line, because I don’t usually trace my sketch down to every detail. I mainly use it as a guide for line art. I like doing clean characters with messy backgrounds. I have always done line art because it suits my art style and process well and I find it easier. Also I can render for the life of me, so if I didn’t do line art my art would look atrocious 😂
Haven't drew in a year but I honestly want to try it now. I personally think it gives it charm and personality.
I don't color my art, so i dont even need to watch this, i just like this dudes art style
Thanks The-ULMR it’s appreciated ❤️
This is what i do with pencil paper sketches, and its a ton of fun. I always wondered why i got bored so easily when starting the lineart in a digital work. Makes a lot more sense now! :)
Nicely done art and tips! ✨👌
Same here! I just do a layout of everything first, including background, then light sketch of the main shapes (whether full body or chibi), then refine and detail those lines to save drawing time! At least I think that's how my art process goes lately.
UUUGH, finally a video that speaks to me!!!!!!
I always felt like the lineart makes my drawing more rough, less fluid, if you know?
Skill issue? Maybe. I don't care.
I feel like heaven when I sketch, everything goes fluid and goes beautiful.
Lineart just screws everything I made.
I'm glad I'm not the only one and I'M GLAD I don't have to force myself to do lineart because honestly I felt like an outsider with everyone doing lineart except me :")
Definitely give this a go it’s fun to try, I feel you with the sketch and the lineart not looking as fluid, so it should definitely help you with that, keep up the great art and thanks for the nice comment!
I really recommend everyone here learning about line weight - this is often why your lineart looks stiffer than a sketch.
I came to this realization recently. No matter how much i worked at it, my line work never carried the same feel and quality of my sketch work. Then, one day, i said fuck it and dropped the line inking process all together. And my art has been better because of it. Line art aint for every artist. Sometimes, it just doesn't click with your style and methods and clashes instead. And that is perfectly fine. If the technique isn't working, then try a different way.
Brilliant, couldn’t have said it better myself, that’s exactly the same as what happened to me, thanks for the nice comment and keep up the great art!!!
I call this the Odysseus sketch, you can't know when it stopped being sketch and started being lineart or if it even did at all
Haha, I might have to start using that 😂😂
Me exactly! I thought I was the only one who draws like this!
Nice to hear, keep up the great artwork!
For the last year I have been sticking just to sketches and not doing line art. I much prefer the softer lines of the pencil tool over the hard lines of the pen tool.
I've been doing this for the last 1 and half years always struggling with my lineart, something artists should learn a long time when they strart art. I'm going to paint something and explain the pros and cons in my own video as you inspired me to do so. But this is generally a very nice step into making your sketch your baby step into an amazing piece of work of art. Its when you start just straight up start canvas painting from this method time, DOES THE TIME FLY, just get eaten. Regarldess I fully enjoyed this video and value the work you put into it.
Thanks, let me know when you post the video and I’ll check it out, I’m always up to support a fellow CZcamsr, keep up the great artwork and I look forward to watching the vid! ❤️
I always didn't do lineart over my sketches, then I learned that it really just depends how you sketch. If you sketch with the same brush you do lineart with, and if you sketch a lot of detail, there's really no point in doing lineart. But I started doing traditional art, and noticed the difference between drawing with graphite and drawing with ink. With graphite, the final piece is essentially a cleaned sketch, with ink the sketch is completely erased (usually).
this might be kinda out of the blue but I'm making a comic rn and experimented with lineart where previously my illustrations just went back into the sketch and fixed the lines. Suffice to say I had to start over because the lineart was eating at me. hahah yeah just wanted to share. Loved the video great job at explaining everything. :)
Thanks for sharing and good luck with your comic, even if you have to keep redoing things it will tern out awesome in the end, so keep it up!!
Thanks for the tips! Underrated vid.
you did not have to make me cry towards the end, amazin video
Haha thanks for the nice comment and glad you liked it, keep up the good art ok!!
As someone who makes lineless art, I see this as an absolute win
I'm someone who loves lineart, and hates skeatching because I have to use different colors to tell things apart.
I think it's mainly depends on style, and stuff.
Yeah absolutely, I also really hate using different colours for sketching, it always looks way to confusing to say that it’s done to stop confusion. 😂
Thanks for the comment and keep up the good art!
new to this channel, for some reason your vibe gave me the impression that you're the kind of artist with a riot games artstyle, or someone like sinix design. Then as I watched at the end it definitely felt more like a korean artstyle. It was quite a surprise, but a pleasant one since JP and KR art styles are also my taste (Chinese too, and they're really good, but sometimes the styles delve more into semi realism)
I study a lot of Korean artists, I love there proses and way of simplifying things, so I’m really glad you can see that in my art,
Thanks for the nice comment Neeevirus, and keep up the great art! ❤️
@@CalebArty korean artists are great
We got the famous art studio fevercell, and we have absolute legends like mogoon/modare/jeonghee or however you want to call him and leviathan. There's also a KR artist that I enjoy watching the speedpaints of called DDuck kong, I like how efficient their workflow is
But yeah many kr artist have really beautiful artstyles
Though I cater more towards the JP styles since I see more of them but both are pretty similar anyway
dude I've been struggling with this a lot, I know every technique but my aproach was pretty messy, thx for the comparison!
No problem, you got this, keep up the great art!
You make drawings look so easyyy
Ive seen a few of your tutorials and they were super simple I will sub to u
Thanks for the sub VeiCroissant!! It’s really appreciated, keep up the great artwork okay! ❤️
Nice video! Very helpful and encouraging. Thanks!
interesting points here, im gonna try these in the near future 👍
As somone just starting out art, this is a huge surprise.
I had it set in my mind that u could only have fineshed pieces if they had lineart.
And imgoing to tru withought lineart and see what happens!
Yess! Give it a go it’s lots of fun to try, remember there is no perfect way to draw, so do whatever you feel works best for you and try as many techniques as you can.
Good luck with your art, you got this!
I’ve been practicing this for the vast majority of my art journey. Sketch something out and refine the lines out with time.
However as my art improved and I started actually working on the actual lines by cleaning them up, refining them, so on, I realized that refining the sketch into a finished drawing was starting to get quite troublesome. Patching everything up to look finished started to become hard, especially in complex drawings as I always found myself forgetting to fix a line or more. In my opinion, this technique mainly works for people whose sketch actually resembles the finished drawing’s traits. This varies wildly amongst individuals and different drawing styles and it does work for me, it still does.
However once I jumped to lineart, I noticed that it eliminates me the trouble of tirelessly fixing lines and rough edges while making me able to capitalize on the structure of the sketch to make the lineart essentially better, especially from an anatomical standpoint.
Lineart however doubled the amount of time I need to spend making art. A piece that would’ve originally required 3 hours of work now requires over 6.
I will definitely still use this technique for drawings I don’t consider as important, and someone out there can definitely refine a sketch better than I ever did, but I honestly think I’m slowly moving away from that technique.
I’ve grown to hate making line art recently and have been trying to find ways around it, but for some reason I never even considered this as an option. I guess I got stuck too much in the “rules”. This is such a simple yet mind blowing thing to me.
Your artstyle is so cute! Thank you for the tutorial!
Thanks for the nice comment Yeahok!! I really appreciate it, keep up the good art!!
OH BOY me who thought I was being delusional when I was doing that so much, especially with my doodles.
It's a bit like the technique of anti-blur, where you firstly put big colored shapes that reflect the general form, then refine by erasing or adding smaller shapes, until which you may start doing the lines! You should try that too!
I remember learning that when I was just drawing on a paper and accidentally spilled water over. I saw indefinite shapes that almost trigger my pareidolia into actually fully shaping them. I made a bunny out of one, if I remember correctly...?
But yeah, I've often gotten to be more expressive if I just do slightly random sketching, such that I reduce/control the variance later on. Often makes for faces thare are more unique between drawings, for instance!
Finally someone actually said this! like my line art is absolutely horrendous but my sketch is a lot better so I tend to just “forget” to do line art, and jump straight into coloring after i finish the sketch, honestly most people think it was just me being too lazy to learn how to lineart properly which it probably is lol.
Yeah, I got the same ‘’not using lineart is just lazy’’ comments about my art a lot too, especially for this video haha
Keep up the good artwork and thanks for the nice comments you got this!!
This also feels like something that can help when you're transitioning from pencil and paper as its kinda similar to how its done (atleast by me with my limited "skills")
Gigachad Method
Sketch, then Color with a solid brush but turn on the border effect(Clip Studio) or Stroke layer effect(Krita). Adjust as wanted. Boom you got 50% of your lineart already done. If desired, just go back and layer lines on top for some extra oomph.
Dam I going to have to give this a go, thanks for the comment Warlocke!
I used to do sketching when I started. Usually I just did sketches and stopped there because lineart was tough. In the end though, I ended up just stopping sketching altogether, just using lineart. It’s weird but it works somehow.
Hmm this seems like an interesting idea! Maybe I’ll experiment with the sketch-like look in my digital art, since my traditional art looks sketchy enough lol
Layers can be a curse just as much as a blessing.
With vector art, line art becomes much more enjoyable.
Ooo i’ve been wanting to experiment with Victor layers, so definitely gonna have to give them a go, thanks for the comment! ❤️
Eh I’m convinced, I like how it’s more akin to on paper art
Damn dude i thought you'd have like 100k+ subs, the quality of this video is subpar, keep it up!
Thanks man, I’ll keep the videos them coming, so you keep up the great art!
you know what subpar means, right?
The thing that I like about sketchy art is that we don’t struggle the continuation of the end point of the line stroke. When doing line art, you either got on a one stoke by using arm support, or stop at a pointy end of the rough sketch. Sketchy art feels like we are drawing on paper.
I kind of stopped doing line art but you could also say I stopped doing sketch. I just started sketching with a full opacity round brush and my sketches started to look cleaner over time to the point that doing line art would be just tracing
Yep, exactly the same with me, after while I started to use a slightly fatter round brush to get more options when refining things too, keep up the good art Silvarafeitosa and thanks for the comment
