How I Draw LINEART Tutorial and Process in PROCREATE

- I used to HATE drawing line art, but now it is one of my favorite steps in the art process. Here is the how I draw line art tutorial! I am using procreate in this tutorial but the important principals I go over can be applied to any program and even traditional art.
First I explain important stuff to keep in mind and then I show you my inking process... so it is kind of a long video. I seem to be incapable of making short videos, sorry! Think of it as more of an art class then a quick art tips clip.
Anyway, I hope it is helpful!

When a CZcams video teaches you more about art in less than an hour than a digital arts class could in two years
Main difference between the two is usually this:
Passion
I love when you find that one video that makes things 'click' 💖🙏
No lie this video helped me create my first animation than any art class in college that I ever took it’s just simplistic and straight to the point no text book needed
I want to say "thank you" youtube for recommendation your channel. But bigger "THANK YOU" to you, Chrissa! With you my art life have more colors than usually. You do beautiful things, your tutorials one of the best what I seen ever! Thank you for your work! (Sorry for my eng X| )
I seem to be incapable of making short videos, sorry! Think of it as more of an art class then a quick art tips clip.😅
Tipp for people who try to draw long lines traditionally. Draw from the elbow and not only with your wrist. Helps a lot with Digital art as well, but in digital you can always zoom out to negate the fact, that the line is long. When you draw with your wrist, you have more control over a small area where you can compensate for small changes with your fingers. If you keep your hand in the air while stabilizing with your elbow, the curve of your line will be much longer and you could finetune the line with the wrist and fingers as well.
Hope it helps. bye :*
fr, I remember when I first heard this advice I didn't put it into practice right away until I got frustrated with a drawing and remembered this tip. When I used my elbow It was insane how much easier it was to draw a neat single line instead of a bunch of small lines connected together
Also if you wanna practice this without wanting to chance ruining a drawing: practice with a pencil, and try to draw the same line on top of itself repeatedly; I tend to do at least 10 tries per line before moving to another. And do different kinda of line--stick straight, slight curve, more curved, etc. (This also makes a good warm up, to get your arm and wrist moving before diving in).
Also please try to use your elbow more in general, it'll save you from carpal tunnel down the line (stretch those wrists and hands!)
does that technique work on something small like an ipad? drawing on a huge easel makes sense, but you can’t really make big motions with an ipad right?
@@PianoMyHeart It's not that necessary in digital inking, but it can help. Zoom and automatic stroke smoothing are a great cheat, to make the line look great, so you can just use those. It can help though to train your hand for longer lines as well.
An example would be: You want a long line, but if you zoom out too much the pen will be less precise (Imagine drawing detailed eyes on a coin. No matter how small your tool, it gets difficult to have details) If your hand is trained already, you can zoom out just enough, that your line would cover the whole screen. I have an ipad air and my wrist alone cannot cover the entire screen if I have to draw a diagonal line through the entire thing. That's when my traditional training comes to shine.
Btw. It also helps with loose sketching a lot. When your hand is not touching the screen, but just flies over it, you can pick up a lot of speed with your pencil.
Sorry if my explanation is confusing at some points. English is not my first language and I have to rephrase the sentences sometimes, because I have not the necessary words to make the optimal sentence work :)
That is such a great tip and one that I completely agree with
Honestly, this tutorial was extremely helpful. Even as a CSP/Photoshop user, I got a lot out of this video and I think that goes to show that you did great at showing it’s the artist, not the tool, that makes good line art
I've been trying to figure out why my linear always comes out weird. I've never considered doing the basic shapes with thin lines and going back in to refine them, I've always just tried to weight lines as I go. This is probably an infinitely better approach, both for my mental health and for my art, lmao. Thank you!
I've been drawing for about ten-twelve years now and figured out the pulling versus pushing thing intuitively because it felt better to do, but I've never been able to put it into words before. Thank you!
THANK YOU! This was not only satisfying to watch but also very helpful. I never saw somebody go in so much depth of their lineart progress and I cannot wait to implement a few tricks in my own art!
You helped put into words some of the issues I have been experiencing with my own art, such as the commit about your finished product feeling stiff. Thank you for sharing your method of drawing line art, I found the video very informative, and will certainly help to improve my own line art!
Your tips and tutorials are always so enlightening! Thank you ❤
TYSM for sharing this tutorial! I also love Mucha and FF concept art and it never dawned on me to study them more closely. I'm also loving the chalk brush look and have been too timid to branch away from the inking brushes for lineart in Procreate, so I really appreciate your demo on how gorgeous it can look with other smooth brushes. I love your work!
Seriously so thankful for this video! You actually showing the entire process really helps know what I should be aiming to do
Thank you so much for this! I’m new to digital drawing and I just got an iPad Pro as a Christmas gift because this is what I want to spend my life doing. Watching this has been so helpful, especially with choosing brushes for line art as I’ve been struggling with which brushed to use, so thank you so so much!
I love doing lineart, so this video has really helped me grasp the basics even better. Thanks!
Thank you for the principles mentioned at the beginning of the video. There were some really helpful tips that a lot of other creators don't think to mention. Great video!
thank you for sharing your skills and insight! I'm a self-taught artist who started line work over a year ago digitally. now I understand how to give my line art a more natural traditional art look. I can't wait to try out your tips!
Thank you so much. Your tutorials are the best I have found. I also just loving you draw while you explain the process. You also have one of the voices I enjoy listening to which is nice when I am listening while doing other tasks, like a podcast 👍
Thank you so much for the sharing!! I used procreate for a year now and I still struggle alot with line art!!
This video really help me with it!! Thank you so much for the detail explanation. The theory even can applied to the line art in my traditional drawing too.
This video had influenced my lineart more than anything else! Can't say I adopted it completely, but the general principles worked well, and I'm very grateful I've found it
THANK YOU! I did not k ow where to start and it was terrifying being exposed to much tools and stuff and it really takes motivation away, this you have no idea how helpful this is. Thank you!
I loved the advice and im super happy w/ what I made! I did set the Depth of the chalk brush down so it could work for me, but i was very satisfied w/ the result
This is really beneficial for me since I'm a beginner and I'm weak in lineart and skin rendering. Could really use this, Thank you!
I was struggling with how to make my line art look more natural and this video was a huge help! I’ve already seen a major improvement in my digital art after watching this video! Thank you!
I love this tutorial so much, it was very helpful to me. I really enjoy doing traditional lineart but I just couldn’t do it digitally! The dragging motion thing is currently helping me a lot. Hopefully I’ll get even better with more practice :)
I think I’m living proof that practice is paramount to good art, because I stopped making art for a good year/year and a half after I quit art school. Now I’m relearning techniques i used to know, with the help of tutorials like this. I’ve been really unhappy with my lineart but this video has taken me back to the basics
Ypur videos are SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND!!! I love how you explain why you draw certain lines and explain the art theory behind your choices. Anyone reading this comment, subscribe today! This is gold. Its exactly what I've been looking for
thank you very much and you are very consistent in explaining how to draw line art! You are great, thank you for sharing so generously!
when i dont like how my drawing turns out, about 90% of the time it's because of the subpar lineart i made. i knew that to a point, but i didn't know *why* exactly it looked subpar. i found that of all the artists i watched here on youtube, yours is the closest to how i think while drawing (more on intuition and feel), so now i know what points i'm missing and what i was doing right before. very nice in-depth tutorial. thank you very much
I loved everything about your video: from the art nouveau (particularly Alphonse Mucha) reference to all the tangents you took on your explanation about your process. Beautiful drawing as well. Cheers for all that!
Thank you! I am gonna try this!
You say your method is all over the place, however creativity is about experimenting and what looks good. So it is not all over the place, but in fact you have basic rules and guidance you use while still experimenting what looks best :)
just found this channel and ,,, you art is sweet , the style , the colors also the video editing it soo clean , love it
I just wanted to say thank you. Today was the first time I ever picked up procreate and draw digitally. Your video gave me a ton of confidence to tackle this more often rather then rely on traditional drawings alone. Now all I need is a paperlike screen protector, it's like I'm drawing on glass lol
This was just what i needed ! Now if i could actually learn how to use the smudge tool the right way
Be careful with the smudge tool. It ruined my painting style. I can no longer paint without using it.
Thank you very much for the video. I’m in the process of doing and hating line art, and this has been very helpful.
Wonderful video, thank you.
This video showed up in my recommended and I’m SO THANKFUL it did! You are the first artist I’ve watched to really breakdown line art this way, and the tips you shared I know are going to help me so much! I’ve been frustrated with drawing for years because I never could produce something I was happy with. The tips you shared, ESPECIALLY the flowing river analogy, are the magic I feel like I was missing. Thank you ❤️
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT…this video helped me solve a longstanding issue. Line work. Thank you SO much!
I’m a bad artist and I was using ibispaintx but i downloaded procreate it really maked my art so good for a beginner in the first day ❤
I thought your tangent was wonderful, and made me feel like maybe I can do better line art. Seeing your sketch and hearing you talk about how you feel like a ‘messy’ artist and that you used to hate line art really resonates with how I currently feel.
I work traditionally for the most part, and while I love Mucha and Beardsley, I fell in love with the way DaVinci would sketch, and practiced drawing from life with ballpoint pen or microns, with lots of curved cross hatching, everything very organic etc.. trying to tighten a sketch up has been a huge struggle for me. This video was really helpful though and I am excited to try some of these tips out!
You're the only CZcams artist I actually LEARN from lmao thank you for not gatekeeping stuff!!!
Love your videos, very encouraging and helpful!
Thank you, excellent tutorial. Very thoughtful and detailed.
I've been searching for this video for a year thank you! My first year as a digital artist.
LOL I WAS STRUGGLING SO HARD RN WITH LINEWORK AND THIS VIDEO JUST RECOMMENDED ITSELF!! It was fate
thank you! i was looking for a video like this recently, this was so helpful!
So there was a particular panel in a comic I made (paper and brush-pen) that I just 'liked' more for some reason- I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was, but this really helped me untangle the mystery. It's nice to feel like I made something 'right', but it's so much better to know what the heck made it work!
I think you are doing a great job! Keep up the good work!
Thank very very much for all your tutorials, I wish you could do more using Procreate ☺️
Impressive what you are able to do on that small screen! I am not dissing it at all! It doesn't even seem cramped in this video but also it's proof that the artist has more to do with how good the art is than the materials/equipment do.
Besides technique, my advice is to tweak the line width variation setting, so that the smallest point isn't 1%. It can create a very unnatural looking result, because with real pens that just isn't possible. Personally, for a fineliner-esque result I use 40% minimum width and use a small brush size for details. On real paper I use the pigma microns so I like to make my digital brushes as close to them as possible. I'm not a huge fan of brush pens but I experiment with them from time to time.
Genius
What do you mean by line width? I tried to find a setting for that and nothing is labeled as width. I’d like to try your suggestion, but would you mind explaining a little more in-depth what you mean? Thank you. :)
Hey, has the default Chalk brush changed since you made this video? I tried using it but it looks and feels completely different, with a lot more transparency
I'd love to see a video on your initial sketching process too XD what brush do you normally use for that?
thank you so much. this helped me a lot as a beginner.
Your work is so beautiful!
Oh wow I do most these now but without thinking
But seeing this made me realize it lol thank youuuu so much!
For free? My art literally improved in one day after watching this video. Thank you so much!
That was such a fun study that I might try and do Inktober this year
this video is the light of my life.
Thank you! Your tutorials so understandable!
My pleasure! I’m glad they are clear! It’s something I worry about a bit since these processes can be a little all over the place! Haha
I am going to by a ipad very soon and this will help me alot .Thank you so much.
Realy helpful tut, thanx for you for this
i subbed cuz you mentioned about streamline and helped me a ton with my doodling lineart XD thanks!
I have been struggling SOO much with not having jank, wobbly lines. So much of this makes sense
Great work Chrissa
4:50 you can always restore to default if you change the settings, so you don't need to duplicate for that reason.
THAT IS BEAUTIFUL
BEAUTIFUL LINE ART 😻
I was trying to line a drawing of a dragon and the scales were giving me a headache lol, the whole "Riverbend" analogy helps a lot. Thanks!
I don’t have my pencil yet, only the iPad. Not even a case lmao, I’m being super careful. Just wanted to celebrate a little victory and thank you for these videos. You’re literally helping someone start a career.✌🏾
Thanks for giving us so much Inspiration!!😄🌈
My pleasure! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! 💖
Thank you for this video! When you get the chance, can you please also do a tutorial on how to draw lineart in Clip Studio Paint?
There are more tools in Clip Studio Paint than there are in Procreate for creating lineart. I want to learn how to get the most use out of CSP for creating better lineart.
I’ve never been a big fan of inking but I want to like it. I am just looking to learn some techniques so I can create better results and feel more confident in the lineart process. The more tips & techniques I learn about lineart, the more confident I will be to stick to the process and it will be easier to think out of the box to apply it to different types of drawings.
It is a really beautiful piece
Finally found the perfect tutorial!
So good, ty for showing 😍😍
I've been diamond painting for half a year and randomly clicked on this video as I just bought an iPad for getting started on digital art. I thought to myself at the beginning, "Huh, that looks like ChrissaBug's style! So pretty!" And then promptly embarrassed myself by looking at the creator name 😅 Oopsie! Your artwork is so lovely, I'm excited to learn from you in my DA journey! 🩵
Amazing 💛 thank you so much
Your sketch looked very clean to me. Maybe thats just because mine are borderline illegible, but I would just strait up use that as my line art.
This is so helpful, thank you! The right brush makes all the difference. Question- what screen protector do you use?
Thank you so much 😊 you’r video is really help me 🌸🌸🌸💓💓💓💓
Thank you so much for this video! Its my first time using procreate and when i finished my 1st art it i was kinda disappointed with the line art because it didnt look natural and it just looked…too clean? Its like when i prefer the sketch more than the lineart phase 😭 but because of this video i got inspired again because of your tips!
Very helpful. Thank u
this helped me alot!! tysm
the river bank imagery is very helpful!
Beautiful 🤩
I love the way you teach.. 👏😊😊😊
I love the textured feel in your lineart. Be somehow when I try the chalk brush it seems weird on my art, theres just big holes in it doesn’t look as dense as I want it to
thats probably because her canvas size is huge (around 6000×4000 or sth if you pause at 0:12 ). If you're using a smaller canvas size, like the default options, then maybe you can try reducing the depth of the brush in the brush settings as someone else did in another comment
Hey! Maybe if you increase the stream on the chalkboard brush your flow it’s gonna look way better, and you can always get an iPad board on Amazon, that gives you more room to lay your hand , and the glove for the pinky finger helps too, thanks for sharing your process I loved your draw.
I woul love to see the full results of your Rorschach test 😆
i definitely struggle with stiffness in my lineart. definitely gonna try the chalk lineart
Beautiful
Thank you!!! 😭❤️
Oh wow I'm so glad I stumbled on your channel. I'd love this tutorial but for CSP please, is that something you plan to do at all please? I really enjoyed the way you teach.
Great tips Thanks 😊
I was just looking at that brush for like five minutes just to be able to replicate it on another program (can't use procreate, too poor for ipad), I would have liked to look at all the settings, but I think I can make something similar... so far I've only made some brushes that are too weak, looking good as pure line art, but then affected by color in ways that I don't like.
Wow- I love your style and skills
I’m curious, how do you start a drawing and start sketching? And how do you keep going on a piece? Because I usually give up if it doesn’t look how I wanted to
"kinda looks like... hahaha somethin!" made my day, thank you
she wasn't helping the case the more she went on XD
Hi hello, thank you for making this lineart tutorial and guide on Procreate... As a beginner artist, I am able to really learn alot from this video... 🥺✨💜👏🏻
