Cherrys Fantasies

That's looking really easy on the eyes Cherry, great style and symmetry and colors Wolf looks cool, nice eyes.

Nice start, look forward to seeing it progress.

This looks lovely already. I too struggle with smooth flowing lines so I shall watch and pick up whatever tips fall my way.

But Art Nouveau is wavy lines not straight ones

What I meant Charlotte was this ^^
left: clean lines for the outlines - right: my way to paint lines. always.



Val, Dave, Micro thanks I hope I can paint a little more today.

I wasn't sure

lol I could press the pen on the tablet ... this could .... noooo. Good advice with the other layer. It will be a try and error situation I think.

Feathering was a technique that stunted my drawing development for years. Try and lengthen your lines and allow them to flow. It will result in waviness no doubt, but you can correct that as you go.

What I struggle with is line weight. I think it is more of a technical thing, but it would be great to draw a line that didn't vary in thickness as I go.

Charlotte's advice is ideal and works for me too. Light sketch followed by more permanent lines.

But, once more for emphasis, feathering line work is a bad habit. One that has taken me a long time to break!

For art's sake, I agree. But for industry sake, there is often the need to keep line weight consistent. For example, when drawing cell shaded characters, or making line art for colouring books and so forth.

I would like to know how to do that for when I get asked to do those 'very dull', but still monetarily worth while projects!
