How to make good lineart (based on my opinion)
1. Choose a pen that has opacity or put the opacity of the pen to 80 to 90 percent. ( Basically make it a little bit transparent like a pencil)
2. Put thicker or darker lines to the part where shadows would appear and thinner and lighter lines on parts where light is exposed.

Facts:
When you sketch with pencil it looks good, but when you put lineart on your piece it looks bad. Its because it doesn't have opacity. In traditional art you just have to follow the steps I said. In digital it would look good with opacity.

Tips in your lineart:
Your line art doesn't need to be clean, it can be sketchy to add interesting look into it. Adding texture to your pen can make your line art have traditional look or make it appealing. There are artist who doesn't have clean lineart and it has textured look, and it's still appealing.

You spend a few hours or minutes on your line art just to realize you drew on the wrong layer

You're legit one of my favorite youtubers now. Thank you for this extremely helpful video! You have no idea! I just stopped digital art for a month and when I tried to come back I was always stuck at lineart, like I was forgetting something.. this really helped so so so much. Lastly I'd like to praise your art, it's beautiful (I'm sure you get this a lot) but it is true

To the mouse users: For those who don't know, there's a tool in Paint Tool Sai called "Linework", you can use it, it's a way easier to make lines with this tool. Personally, I like it, I have used it for years before using a tablet
