>twf you spend hours doing lineart only to find the sketch

By understanding what lines made it look like that and why. If you don't even know why it looks like that, you're just accidentally creating the effect.

So what you're saying is there is no contour line per se, you have to "create" contour by feeling it :^)

Draw with one layer. Basically, don't lineart the sketch on a diffferent layer, just refine it.

Thank you

I can assure this is something that happens to professionals aswell. It will be less frequent the more skilled you become, but it can happen to anyone.

What I do is I make correction with white brush marks on second layer until the line is more refined. Sort of painterly, kinda. Then if I feel like it go over it with a crisper brush.

>>3134362
Do you keep a close eye on composition too? Does that tend to hold up otherwise?

>>3134378
Could you go more in depth with this.

Yeah do a real drawing not digital shit

>>3134553
I do both.
I still don't quite understand, my traditional drawing I usually sketch and do the final lines ona different page.

i have exactly the same problem op
i do my sketch with the same brush i use for the final lineart. then i lower the opacity of it so i can draw on top in a new layer, or a bunch of new layers. if i find the sketch is better, i erase that part of the finished linework and let that part of the sketch show. it's basically the same as >>3134378 but less scary since you're not erasing anything. i care a lot more about gesture than line quality though
