When you find that one brush that you fall in love with but forget which one it is

words can't emphasize how convenient this vid is rn, literally finished a sketch and I suck at lineart lmao, thanks a bunch!

I’d recommend not using stabilization for pure technical improvement, since traditional inking pros also learned with no stabilization. But I wouldn’t avoid it altogether and use it on digital pieces since it’s a tool like any other digital drawing tool

[PeppermintPumpki]

I've been avoiding a certain art piece I have to get done before Christmas, but this video gives me the motivation to start it! Thanks for all the advice y'all have given, it has been so helpful!

[Syiepherze]

I never really paid attention to stabilization so I've always been working with the default setting, which is really low lol.
I end up spending a LOT of time on linework trying to get solid lines (sometimes several hours), but the end result is this clean yet sketchy (or painterly?) look that I kinda like.

I'll definitely consider turning up the stabilization if I wanna get some lines done quicker. Thanks for the tips!!

[thNEWhypro]

That stabilization part is EXACTLY what I needed, bc I LIKE my sketchy lines, but I HATE fighting how smooth using an art tablet makes it. The balance between the two helped me LOVE doing my lineart. :>

‘these tips also applies to traditional pen and ink drawings’
Oh nice
‘use stabilization’

[BrokenDharmaForge]

So THATS how people color their line art! Thank you!

[WillowsSketchbook]

every program has stabilization- cries in traditional art 😭
this video was really helpful though especially looking at the different examples of using line weight!!

This honestly helps as a person who really struggles with lineart and prefers sketching more since it’s more fluid for me. I’ll start practicing more thanks to you😁

[TRNZZ_CLY]

It's a bit difficult for me to line weight with my dysgraphia, it tends to make me press down harder with my drawings and I tend to mess up with it BUT! these tips did help!

[BuckBlaziken]

Beginning artists always say they get burned out by learning a lot too quickly, or not having the time to draw what they like. That’s why I say if you’re drawing everyday, dedicate only two or three days of the week to learning sometime new, practicing it, and trying to get better at it. Then for the rest of the days of the week you draw what you like while applying the new knowledge you acquired from the days you’ve studied.

I'm quite surprised by how fast this channel has been growing recently. Props to you guys. I hope you continue to pursue your dreams. ❤

jeeeezzzz, I didnt know all i needed was the STABILIZATION for crisp looking lines.

[HermySuprova]

Some of these tips are going to save me so much time, thanks a lot for this video! I just started drawing digitally and I couldn't figure out how artists do cretain things, so I tried to replicate that technique my way and it took me SO LONG and it wasn't so effective either.

[KarticatArchive]

i dont know why but stabilization seems to always bother me. i feel like my art turns out way better on paper which has no stabilization. it has its uses but it feels more like it’s restricting my lines and makes them not seem ‘realistic enough’ i suppose. i don’t have full control of the lines i’m drawing and if my line ends up wobbly, i can always tweak it. i don’t need my lines to be absolutely perfect the first time.

[shamchez]

Any chance y’all can make a video teaching us h o w to practice? Not really sure where to start tbh

[dannilobezerra]

Super aula!!! Queria muito aprender esses tipos e variações de linhas que os autores usam em suas artes!! E agora eu posso com esse vídeo! Thank you!
