Perhaps drawing at too low a resolution, or maybe I need to be zoomed in more/less while lining. I've practiced a TON on inking/lining, so more practice is indeed an answer, but I can't help but feel that maybe I'm missing a method or something. I want to learn how to do that, but at the same time I'm not sure how.

This leads to me feeling stuck at that point in the drawing and feeling very demotivated to continue.Ĥ) I've seen other artsts draw incredibly smooth, precise lines without stabilizer, and it puzzles me.

I've many times spent hours redrawing the same few lines, alternating turning the stabilizer on, not being sure which looks better. Since my goal is to be more loose and free with my work, is this moving in the wrong direction?ģ) I'm not even sure that such stabilized lines look better or worse than non-stabilized lines. My thoughts on this include:ġ) Traditional artists don't have the luxury of a stabilizer, so if I ever try drawing traditionally (again), I worry I'd be so trained to use the stabilizer that I'd be a real hard time.Ģ) I worry using a stabilizer makes me take too long on my lines, being far too meticulous. The stabilizer in such programs makes things much easier for me, but at the same time, I feel like I"m teaching myself bad things by using it. This take for freaking ever and I hate it. My hands are often shaky feeling and I must redo inking lines over and over. I've been trying to learn a new drawing program (ClipStudio/MangaStudio Pro) and also trying to learn to use a SurfacePro 3, where I had been using an Intuos Pen and Touch beforehand. I'm trying to draw more and get back into things after the holidays. Hello! It's been a while since I've posted much or have written a journal, so apologies for that.
