Description Is it just me, or am I the only one desperately hoping for some kind of awesome love triangle to go on between these three?
Haha oh god I'm sorry.
I just love them all so much.
Please tell me Parakeet gets some kind of love interest with one of these two.

This is Edwardian, Parakeet and Morgan from 's comic Parakeet Jones which you should all read immediately.

The thing I love about 's characters is that you practically get to dress them up in whatever you want. Her style is obviously fashion influenced... It's just so fun thinking of creative outfits for them.

Parakeets legs don't really make sense... so don't look at them for too long.
Also I just had to draw shadow man in there...

Morgan is not being a creepy demon in this picture. I've probably drawn him being incredibly OOC but I couldn't help it..

You know what would make this EVEN BETTER?
DEE. OH. YESH.
Because you know he has a crush on her too. XD

Actually Morgan is acting in character, or at least the way he acts towards people when they aren't trying to set his city on fire.

You need to do something like this with sharper lines, blacker blacks, you just need to really refine it. I say that cus it looked much better zoomed out - cus it seemed more refined. I like the guy with the blue/grey hair most.

i've always had a problem with lineart. I don't know how to make the lines smoother when using a tablet, they always seem quite wobbly and i don't really know any other way.
Any tips?

Yeah I get the same problem sometimes. It can be pretty tedious, but first use a big canvas (well, as large as your computer can handle well), and zoom in when you paint cus when you're zoomed out you may find the lines are wobbly (at least it's that way for me, then again it could be cus of paint shop pro... I think it might be). Do you have it set to change size on pressure sensitivity? I usually go for change size and opacity when doing lines. If a line comes out wobbly, you've just gotta deal with it and draw it again - that's where the tedium comes in. Cutting out at lines with the eraser is good too, for getting sharp corners etc.

If you're using a large canvas, and you have your brush set to change size and opacity on pressure, and you have it set to say... 20-50% opacity, you'll find that when drawing if you keep going over a line again and again (till it's black) you'll have some blur on the edges, but since it's such a large canvas it will hardly be noticeable when zoomed out and the line will actually be quite smooth. I usually do that when I do want a more brushed line though, it's clearly not going to give a reeeally sharp edge. If you do want a sharper edge you'll have to draw at a higher opacity.

Oh yeah do you draw a sketch first on a layer below, then draw the lines ontop? Definitely do that if you're going along the lower opacity route, cus you'll need to know where you're going.

Tbh I don't actually do much cartoony stuff so I don't think my tips are incredibly helpful. My recent work with 'Sourchest Lightning' was done with 100% opacity and the size and opacity pressure sense - but I was sortof liking the slight wobblyness there, although it didn't contain any of the wobblyness that I think PSP does (that's sort of like giant 90 degree wobbles and it's horrid). The other piece, 'Sourchest' was done the other way, with the lower opacity, as you can see the lines are smooth and sharp to an extent, but still brushy and soft... eh.

All that time you took to read that bullshit you probs should've been using to practice! Haha, that's probs your best bet. Anyway good luck.

wow, thanks so much for all of this, it's really gonna help. and yes, i read all of it lol!
i usually always draw a sketch underneath first, but i think i just gotta learn to stop being lazy and actually put more effort when linearting.
Drawing on a big canvas is very intimidating, but i really need to get used to not rushing things.
brb trying out your new tips
Thanks again!!
