Beginner Digital Lineart Troubles? Just Read This!

    It's the question almost every beginner digital artist asks: How do you draw smooth, crisp, lineart?
    The journey to the holy grail of lineart is not a simple one. I have but one answer: practice.
    Of course, you've probably heard that answer many times. That word probably made you close the tab and go back to your Google Search.
But wait, there's more!
    One of the things that makes smooth lineart, well, smooth, is speed. When you draw, draw with confidence, because there's always Ctrl-z (and it's very handy to have your non-drawing hand on the undo button, whether it's on the keyboard or an express key on your drawing tablet)
    And don't be afraid to erase the lines crossing over each other. All the extra effort makes a difference!
Example:
Oh no, a crossover!
Erase the crossover!
Simply erase.
And we're done!

    So, specifically, practice drawing with confidence. Your lines and art might make you cringe, but to persevere will bring you fruits of amazing line art and overall artwork!
I also highly recommend watching this video in the link below if you haven't already! It contains great advice and tips for clean lineart!
    And that's about all I have to say on the matter! I wish you luck in your lineart adventures and misadventures!
