okay I think this covers the basics of the way I do my lineart, hopefully it’ll be helpful enough! if something’s unclear don’t be afraid to shoot me an ask about it.
enjoy and dON’T GIVE UP it might get really frustrating at times with all the control z-ing and re-drawing lines but the more you do it, the quicker it’ll get to get them right the first time around and the better you’ll become at it so yes, good luck friends.
I actually saw >this< tutorial on my dash the other day and its describes really well actually how I also do lineart. Lots of fast strokes, and alt-z’ing until I get the strong confident line I want. Rinse and Repeat.
Up until recently I was using Paint Tool SAI, but I switched to Manga Studio 5 and love it sooo much better. Brush options are perfect for the kind of lineart I do.
One thing I do differently though is that I keep my base sketches VERY basic. I do most-to-all of the detail work in lineart, while my sketch never leaves the blob phaze. Which may or may not be an unprofessional way to go about it (I still flesh sketches out for commissions but for my own personal stuff, I free hand A LOT of my lineart…)
like uh this
idk how I’d go about making a lineart tutorial better than the one I linked so id deff suggest checking it out bcause thats how ive always gone about it.
One thing that makes it easy to do this method – since some people cough cough say its hard – is that my canvases are fucking enormous. I never work on canvases smaller than 2000x2000pixels
Also I ink in mouse-mode because pen-to-screen mapping on tablets drives me insane
Last we saw Thadric his near-marriage with a sweet human woman fell through at the last possible second after he was ‘encouraged’ to enlist in Sylvanas’s army and serve in Silverpine using his magical talents to invade the minds of Gilneans against his will (and theirs). When he came back from the front to a life that slowly crumbled, it became, over time, too obvious to him that many people in his world up to that point had been very, very right about one thing.
He is Forsaken.
Sorry Meida, Mister Thadric is a 500% Beware-The-Living stone cold killer. In a sweatervest. Casting Levitate. Maybe if you hug him he’ll get better? He’s definitely going to come back for Warlords of Draenor to be a good Horde warmachine cog if/when I re-up.
Props to Tarmduffin for helping me figure out how to change his name from Bender to something Forsaken without sounding like a corny mallgoth.
Also just a heads up, I am totally going to be making a Commission post tomorrow. Probably opening just two slots to start off with, preferably for more like this and the previous skrimps/nitro character portraits but open to anything.
thadric gon’ rub his yaoi claw all over us alliance scum, shudder us to death
