You have a great linework, but the way it looks pixellated or overly sharp is getting to me.
(perhaps because I had to redo 15 comic pages due to my lines ending up like that in Medibang
when lineworks got turned into 1-bit by mistake with no backup)
Are these traditionally done and then scanned/photographed?
Edit:
On traditional media, you have a wider degree of access to your visual library,
which is the main reason for never stop doing it, even when switching full-time to digital.
Your brain is capable of putting on paper 100% of what you know
-or have been doing most of your life i.e.: drawing on paper.
There is always a 'stiff' line quality in digital vs traditional media, namely because
you are restricted to the size of your tablet and the way stabilizers work
(which provide a good line, but not a "natural" one),
but mostly because your brain is trying to "emulate" what it knows about traditional.
You have no such restrictions on paper, like this wonderful work of FiveStarAce shows.
And with daily practice and time, you will be able to translate most of it to the digital canvas,
but never 100% of your actual skill. You can see many digital artists rely on scratchy lines
to convey naturality, which is something that traditional media replaces with flowing, long flexible lines.
That to me personally is the main argument to never stop drawing on paper.
Thread Tax I suppose: WBMP looks Old Macintosh as fuck and I'm loving it.
