Aw shucks guys! Thanks for the shout out! This video is great by the way. These exercises take me back to my theme park caricature days. New staff had to do a lot of these drills in training. Brent knows what I'm talking about (we both did caricatures before animation)
-
thanks for actually telling us HOW to practice, instead of just telling us to practice
-
How do you get cleaner lines? Any artist: Just practice BaM Animation: Just practice... but BETTER
-
“Ctr+Z constantly” Me: Cries in left handed.
-
“Many new artists go over their completed lines multiple times because it makes them feel good, or something” is a quote so true it hurts
-
"practice more" is just the formal version of "git gud"
-
Every artist: Keep practicing This video save my life, thanks

How to be good at lineart: Step 1: Stabilizer is the key After 3 years I realized you don't need them, you just need to be very perfect and precise with the pen

character: bird bam: adventure time regular show: "am i a joke to you?"

FINALLY a channel that actually gives EXERCISES instead of just showing you how they do something without explaining why.

As a mouse artist, it's very difficult to draw smooth lines or have the patience to draw multiple sketches. Tip for any other mouse artists out there: draw your sketch traditionally and then trace it digitally for the line art. Also, turn the stabilizer/smoothing all the way up. It helped me out a ton :D And of course, like the video said, practice is helpful! Very difficult, yes, but helpful nonetheless.

I immediately started getting better lines after watching a cartoonist live draw his comic for an audience, and I saw how many times he was hitting those undo shortcut keys. It's real. I started embracing that and now I imitate his fast motion (fast is smooth) and the constant undos instead of trying to slowly get it right with a single attempt.

I've never been so angry at a line.
-
Not even art school taught me the tip of drawing circles repeatedly to practice line confidence, and after doing it here and there at work for just one shift so far has made an absurdly amazing difference in my lineart quality tonight?? i sound like an infomercial review. but seriously, I'm seeing an improvement from one side of this drawing i'm working on from days ago to the other side done tonight. i feel a little cheated out of 25k in student loans :(
-
One additional point for more pen control: Go in alternating directions. E.g, if you're making one circle clockwise, make the next anticlockwise. If you're starting a line from the top of the page, start the next from the bottom. Great video!! Thank you for uploading!

BaM: ”Create a new document in photoshop” Me: quietly cries in MS paint
-
"Place your left hand on CTRL, ALT and Z" cries in german keyboard layout
-
Me, a mouse-digital artist: ok.

For anyone randomly scrolling through the comments, one trick I use for making the edges where different lines meet is by keeping the lineart on multiple different layers. I usually use 3-4 layers, but it can depend on the complicatedness of the drawing. Corners can be a little challenging, but it's overall very helpful.
