I've also been experimenting with doing lineart last, just for flavor, and focusing on shapes.
Also, I've become quite fond of using a very sketchy lineart layer, it's faster and low-stakes. I noticed that a lot of my favourite artists have wobbly lines or sketchy look. (To be fair other software like Clip Studio Paint and Procreate are decent alternatives for illustrators- in some cases better.Hrmm, as someone who is trying to get better at lineart, the best solutions that've worked for me so far:Ī) do the lineart on paper and scan it in, i find that i get nicer lineart when I draw physically with like a fountain pen or sharp pencil rather than digital (experimenting with different pens, pencils and brushes helps but isn't necessary), Note: make sure your paper isn't larger than your scannerī) go for a sketchy, imperfect, or nontraditional look. Photoshop - The gold standard for illustration and concept art. Especially if you have something simple-medium in complexity and just need to make a quick thumbnail. It’s a lot easier to use than Blender and is a really good alternative if you need to mock up something quickly. SketchUp - This is another free software that a lot of architects use.
Please do yourself a favor and download it- it’ll save you hours with your environments if you learn it. You can do pretty much anything in it from animation to character modeling. It’s so useful to concept artists because you can set the lighting, textures/materials, and camera to your liking. If I could recommend you a software it would be to download the open-source 3D software blender. If you’re really into linework or have a more manga/comic book-y style and use photoshop, definitely consider this. Lazy Nezumi Pro - This is a photoshop specific tool that helps you draw smoother lines. Absolute godsend- like drinking a hot cup of city coffee after abstaining because of the current pandemic going on. PureRef - Reference software I use for my art projects. I recommend checking out Hardy Fowler’s skillshare courses if you get the chance. I’ve learned so much about graphic design, anatomy, and concept art. Absolute treasure trove of information.
