I hope the technique I taught would be useful to you. You can see that certain artist with cell shade can produce great art without complicated/over detailed lineart. What’s matter is the overall looks of drawing, even flat lineart (no pen pressure) will still looks good if you know how to use eraser and how to color. How Mignon do render and how Minko_draws use cheat tools (like direct draws, which is the equivalent version in CSP she also do manual line in other smaller part of the body).ĭraw a line, edit its shape using liquify/transform tools, then create new layer and a new line, make it good (erase/and manipulate as necessary), repeat few times.

I love how RyoAgawa make simple lineart and how Rizdraws use double line in certain part like breast line. So, just choose ONE of your favorite artist and learn from him/her, THEN you can try to learn from 2nd/3rd artist that you like. There’s no right or wrong, just different taste. Those artist whom I admired has different default value of line thickness. RyoAgawa and Mignon both is also japanese, but how they line is also different. Even between western artist their linework is different. If you check on twitter on western artist like minko_draws and rizdraws VS japanese style like RyoAgawa and Mignon they have different style. Do the border effect again, but this time use black color and use smaller number for thickness of edges, 3 usually is enough but it depends on how big/small the image is. Use the Border effect, use white color, set the thickness of edges in any number you want. Merged folder (that contains line and color) into single layer Since you have probably done the lineart in bad way and slow way, now is the time to taste the power of cheating with clip studio tools.īut before that make sure you set your keyboard shortcut in the most efficient way. Just try to learn how others do their linework. And see how they create lineart for their artwork. Just pick his/her simpler image, choose half body/waist up to make it quicker. Now that you know what pixel size to use, you can try to trace other artist works. Now I can draw lineart just fine be it with 24 or 100. Just use whatever you feels great.īefore I am using the technique on this tutorial, I always use 100. So in nutshell there’s no real correct number. But setting to 100 is OK too as it makes drawing a big single line easier. You can set your lineart Brush stabilization to any number. You can check what pixel size to use if the image is in knee up/waist up view in A4 300 dpi by doing the same things above. Now you know what pixel size to use for full body in A4 300 dpi. So, you need to choose who is your favorite and inspiration. Once you’ve master this it’ll be up to your feeling to decide which pixel size is perfect for you.Ĭertain artist (western style) may have thicker lineart and other (usually japanese) will have thinner lineart. You need to experience by using other artist artwork as a guide for what pixel size to use in certain view point and canvas size. Remember that different canvas size and how big the character is drawn will make the necessary pixel size for the brush difference.įor example in A4 300dpi the character is drawn in full body so pixel size 4 and 5 is perfect but if she’s drawn in bust up view, the pixel size can be different/much bigger. In this case I find that lineart brush with pixel size 4 and 5 is the best.
