HII I LOVE UR ART!!!!

are there specific things u keep in mind when doing lineart? im trying to improve in that field n ur lines r just SO CRISP ✨✨✨

YAAAAAAAY LINEART QUESTION!

Don't know how well I'll be at explaining this since it's kind of become second nature to me, but usually I try to vary my line weights and do a lot of more gestural line strokes? If I want something more thinner/delicate I try to go for a more lighter touch, and vice versa if I want a more thicker line, yada yada all that stuff. But even if you use a brush that isn't really affected by pressure and stays the same, I'd overall recommend being loose and confident with your strokes, even if they're just laying down straight lines. Don't think too much, just go with the flow, try not to be too rigid, that whole thing. (also stabilization is your friend! Don't be afraid to mess with it however you want)

I also take a lot of inspiration from artists like Ulysse Malassagne or Matias Bergara who have a very rough and loose lineart style as well (although their lineart is a bit more thinner than what I usually do, and they also have the benefit of using a traditional brush pen)

But if you look closely enough you can see where they keeps a lighter touch for small details vs where they add just a liiiittle more pressure for that line variation, and how overall loose it is.

It's more obvious in La Cachette's animation lineart too

TLDR: Keep it loose and gestural, don't be afraid to vary or break it up here and there, sometimes I go over some lines to make it thicker just because it looks more interesting to me, and experiment! Think about an artist you like, do a study on how they do their lineart, try a new brush pen and just scribble on the canvas, fool around with settings and brushes you've never tried before, just try to have fun with it. I've found that sometimes, mindless nonsense doodling can produce some of the best art you've ever made.

@20funnypuppies SOMEONE FINALLY CAUGHT THE STUBBLE

Ngl, your art got me into playing Anji. It still hasn't gotten me on baiken (the tether confuses me), but it's getting there. Thank you 😊

So happy to hear that! And also don't worry, plenty of inputs still confuse me too (especially as someone who isn't used to fighting games...) but it just takes some practice and some patience. You got this!

just wanna throw it out there that I always love reading the reblogs and comments, even if I don't or can't respond to all of them all the time, they still make my day <3

Throwing my piece into Spectrolite to fool around with the colors and try to make it even more bisexual

the agony of seeing a mistake in your drawings but you've already posted it and it's too late to do anything and you know the smart thing to do is just leave it be and move on and do better next time but it's slowly driving you insane-

Can you do a sketch in vantablack

I could try if I had any

just a Fredrick

And even though it pains me that I cannot truly hold you, You like it when I try anyway

Maybe I'm being delusional here but idk something about Anji and Baiken's motifs being a butterfly and a plum blossom respectively, a flower and pollinator, one that helps the other grow and flourish...very interesting
