Good morning ☕️

Hey, art friends, how you doing? I got a quick question for you.

What advice can you give to someone who hates their linework when working digital?

As a non-artist: lock in >:( and idk practice and use references heavily until it clicks?

Play with brushes, doodle like a mad person. You might not find a line that's perfect, but you may find the settings that are. Then you can apply/adjust to your preferred line.
Bigger picture: WHY do you hate your linework? What linework DONT you hate? What do you see that's where you hope to be?

My issue seems to apply to digital only. I'm fine with my scribbles, but trying to recreate something digitally just seems to go awry. My main issue is when making smaller details like eyes. I find that my outlines are too thick, and look disproportionate and blurry by comparison

Scribble more, much more, digitally. It's fun. Dont worry about finished art, sounds (to me) like you need to establish some muscle memory with digital. You absolutely can train with a single brush... BUT no harm in using multiple thick + thin brushes for diff areas of your drawing. Gambatte! ✒️

Hmm there are certain things I can think of, assuming you used stablizer.

Try different ways to draw lines, like disconnected. play around with line-weight, thicker lines.

draw lines longer and erase what's too much. (Look up shortcuts, to make the process quicker).

Learn more about shading, and see if you wanna have less focus on clean line art.

Always remember there are 3 kinds of lines. straight, curved and s-curved. Practice those.

experiment with what brush you use. Maybe the brush you have makes line art more difficult for you.

I think my brush is a part of the issue. I think I go too thick with outlines, and then when I have to do small features like eyes it either looks too messy or too much of a difference if I make the brush smaller

Oh yeah that might be a problem. Brushes for sure change if you change their size and zoom in (That's also a common issue). It gets more pixelated.

Testing out brushed. And maybe trying to think how much detail your eyes really need. I also dislike drawing face on vector layer.
