Thank you for saying so, lineart takes me such a long time lol. I hand draw using a graphics tablet with Photoshop, i think the eyes stand out more because they are in black, whereas the rest of the lineart is a dark brown? I hope that helps? :3

oh wow, you hand draw them with photoshop? that must take you forever! I Used to use the pen tool, but that took too long also, I ended up using sai for lineart.
I like how the light/dark brown blended in really nicely in your colored version. I might have to try that out!

Haha yeah, it can take a very long time! The pen tool is probably quicker (depending on the level of detail) but as much as i love Photoshop's pen tool, i find it very difficult to vary the thickness of the line :/ I've never tried Sai but i'm always hearing good things about it. How do you do your lineart if not hand drawn or pen-tooled? (if you don't mind me asking >w<). I find dark brown or grey can produce softer results than plain black outlines. Black can be too heavy, however, other times it can work very well. i guess it depends on what you want the final result to be like. Thank you again for your kind words ^.^

sai is mostly hand drawing only. But it has what they call a "stabilizer" which is really nice.
Say if you are a diabetic.. like myself.. and have fairly shaking hands, you can use the stabilizer to help with that, or say.. you doodle too fast and dont end up with the results you want.. You can slow it it down and have it smoothe itself out.
Here is the link if you want to dl it. it is free, and it's a fairly small file imo.

There you go. try it out!
