What makes the line weight here work so well

>>7622270 (OP)
It's just regular lineart with a chisel pen, bud.

>>7622270 (OP)
its the vibe

>>7622270 (OP)
>thinner lines in light/highlighted areas
>thicker lines in darker/shadowed areas
>slightly thinner in further away areas, despite also being in shadow

>>7622270 (OP)
how the fuck do you draw perfect curves while keeping a consistent pressure on the tablet

>>7622270 (OP)
There is a balance between line and colored area ratio. Too thick of a line and it doesn't work. Too thin of a line and it doesn't work.
Lighter more daintier areas of her like the hair arms and face are thin
Weightier areas like her skirt and eyelashes are thicker, enhancing the feeling of 3 dimensions and flow

I generally think if you already have a sense of weight and shape you will instinctually want to increase line weight in some areas of higher tension and weight, and decrease in other areas to enhance lightness and delicateness.

think lineart and thick lineart can both work, but there are many values where it can be called too thick or too thin. there's no fucking winning

>>7622298
If you look very closely, they're not one line. The back of her shirt and her hair is made of three lines but the emphasis on weight and consistency in shape distracts you from the fact that many areas are multiple lines.

>>7622300
Yeah it just depends on the feeling and level of detail you want to go for. The line weight should depend on the drawing. If you're making a super detailed gacha character you want thin lines. If you want to draw cartoons or stickers you'll want thicker ones.

>>7622289
None of this can actually be seen in the drawing
>>7622299
Confirmation bias

>>7622327
nta, but i can see it. You must be blind

>>7622270 (OP)
what do you call drawing over the same line twice but imperfectly so it has gaps? I noticed it adds soul to drawings.

>>7622329
Kill yourself faggot, her back is illuminated and also outlined with a thicker line

>>7622340
Its not an exact science,

You said “none of it” could be seen, when in fact, you can certainly see some of it

>>7622343
Refer back to my previous reply, the board will be improved if you follow my instructions, and that's an exact science

>>7622344
I hit a nerve, didnt I? lol

>>7622327
>Confirmation Bias
Yes. The areas that look like they're getting thin because of light are just at the flat part of the brush and/or at the end of flick strokes.

It's a chisel brush with pen pressure on size, a little bit of opacity, pen rotation. Energetic technique takes care of the rest.

Less talk, more killing yourself for the good of the whole

OP btfo

this reply chain encapsulates nu-/ic/
yeah yeah he's only pretending to be retarded

>>7622270 (OP)
It's probably just the drawing. Line weight is overrated I think.

>>7622270 (OP)
Western style looks good with thick lines

>>7622401
How is it western? He's from Hong Kong

>>7622402
You're a moron

>>7622270 (OP)
There'll be a lot of posts trying to rationalize it but honestly it's purely a feel thing.

>>7622270 (OP)
Heavier lines in shadow areas
Lighter lines in light areas
Variation of lines
Nice curves and confidence of line
Style
Etc.
you just gotta ink. The more you ink, the more it becomes second nature to do this stuff. As someone who just recently found their voice with art and inking, just trust me on it.
Some people will take longer than others, even with the same amount of practice. It’s just how it is. But just keep going. Have comfort in the fact that you WILL get there eventually. Everyone can draw, its not something your born with, it is a skill to develop
