heh, sometimes I think it's too clean. But, I've only barely experimented with other line styles. Really it's just a lot of "draw a line" ~ "No that doesn't look right" ~ Ctrl-Z ~ "draw a line" ~ "No that doesn't look right" ~ Ctrl-Z ~ "draw a line...." I think you see where this is going :b

Really, I'm trying to train myself to do this less and rely on the eraser a bit more. I've had mixed success.

That and stop being scared of coloring things. Shading is a real fear zone for me; I honestly don't know what I'm doing just yet. Still experimentation for the most part!

Interesting! I'm more of a super sketchy sketch person. I pile on a ton of lines on top of each other and slowly mold it by erasing and adding lines, and then I just go back in and clean up my lines. But honestly you just have a different style. Always good to experiment with different styles, but I guess its really not a necessity. I'm prolly gonna try some vector stuff in the future.

Ah shoot, I thought I replied to this. Gah, sorry for the late reply.

Yup yup, that's how I draw traditionally. I wish I could emulate it better in digital media. It's essentially what you describe. I lightly sketch out circles for the head, then an action line or two, then circles for the body. Usually throw on the forelegs/hindlegs in the sketch, and then I just build onto that erasing the sketch as I go. It's a perfectly fine way of doing things.

In the digital arena, I still don't know what I'm doing. I've tried doing the same path, but it always turns out a lot less clean when I do it that way.

Keep on artin!
