Ok A Serious Question. How Did You Managed To Make A Really Neat Lineart? And What Kind Of Brush Are

Ok a serious question. How did you managed to make a really neat lineart? And what kind of brush are you using to make it.....?

I use clip studio for all my stuff, and I’m really basic about it. Like, I use the standard g-pen brush for everything (including coloring). My lines are just a by-product of me refining and redrawing my original sketch until it looks presentable. I’m not super efficient when it comes to this stuff, lol. I’ll legit re-draw the same chunk of line 5 times over until it looks exactly right. That’s the main reason I’m hesitant to stream cuz I feel like peeps would get bored real fast haha. The neatness of my lines comes from being confident in my strokes, which is a fancy way of saying muscle memory. If you practice drawing swoopy lines enough, you eventually get to the point where you can nail the motion in one try. Having a tablet where you can draw directly on the screen helps too, but it’s not necessary. My main tip when it comes to line work is to vary your line weight. If everything’s the same thickness, then your eye gets drawn to nothing. But if you thicken some lines, then it improves the flow of the drawing and gives the figure/BG a sense of weight and volume. Personally, I prioritize varied line weight over neatness, but it all depends on your personal art goals. Hope this helps!! 💖

AAAAAAAA!!! I STILL DON'T HAVE WORDS TO DESCRIBE MY THANKS FOR THIS FIC!

Everything about this is just so perfect. You took the premise of my comic and elevated it to a whole other level. Your writing's so good 😭😭

I'm gonna go cry a river of joy now

SEP: Sunsets

I wrote this based on the comic “SEP Days” that my friend @vapewraith drew - I love silly SEP and Crisis interactions between Gabriel and Jack so I loved this comic and really wanted to show how much Vape’s art and colors inspire me.

Thank you again, Vapewraith - thank you for nearly nine months of your wonderful Overwatch art!  ❤️  ❤️  ❤️ ———

“Soldiers, line up here.”

There are tart groans and muttered whines as the SEP candidates shuffle to a stop and the group practically collapses against the walls and waist-high concrete barriers.  The exhaustion and aches are practically tangible in the air as the supersoldiers-in-training ease themselves into sitting or leaning or even lying positions - Number: 37 practically throws herself on the group even though it’s as miserably comfortable as sleeping on broken groundstone.  Number: 123 next to Gabriel rolls his shoulders, hissing every time the right one moves back too far, exactly where one of the rubber bullets had hit him earlier.  Number: 88 on the other side of Jack seats herself and then curls up into a ball, pulling the drawstrings on her hood to shut the world into what Jack assumes is blissful darkness.

They’re in one of the halls of the SEP facility - tucked away into a deep mountainside “somewhere out west,” the building is hard angles and brutal concrete and cut-steel, as soft as titanium and as gentle as the injections they get every morning and evening.  Yet even here, in “wherever’s-range,” there is still beauty: the massive windows, normally just cold, crystalline glass, are open to the sunset, bleeding colors across the land and sky, dripping into the hallway with the vibrancy of oil paints.  Reds smoke into bright, endless pinks, golds melt into bold, sunshine yellows, oranges shift into liquid amber, and at the edges of the atmosphere, velvet purples sigh into silky blues, tinting the more vivid colors and steeped clouds with the dusk of night and the emerging stars.

It’s a sight neither Gabriel nor Jack will ever get tired of -

No matter how exhausted they are.

“The doctors will see you shortly -” the SEP instructor starts to say, reappearing at the far end of the hallway, before he looks up from the papers on his clipboard and scowls at the group of crumbling supersoldiers, snapping, “Is that what you call ‘lining up?’”

“Maybe if y’all didn’t work us so damn hard,” Number: 141 growls, his voice climbing into a hoarse yell, “We’d still have the energy to fucking stand!” 

(The rest is under the cut!)
