Flynt asked, "what kind of brush do you use when you get to the lineart phase of drawings?"
Added 2017-10-05 20:06:33 +0000 UTCI keep it simple.
I've seen how other artists past around their special pen packs, for all of these visual effect and stuff. But I don't care about that.
My stuff is typically you out of the box pens, with a high rate of stroke smoothing but nothing else. No bells or whistles.
Now I included the eraser I use because I feel that's the most important tool I use. Because while you might see me implement a more finished stroke look to my stuff, I am constantly erasing or shaving down lines when I draw.
If you've ever seen me stream that the way I draw is more akin to sculpting than regular doodling. Because the shapes I want to capture can rarely be reached with a single pass. We've all seen artists who just let the ink stay where it stays, but I can't do that. I'm a control freak and I want to control the shape and appearance of my strokes.
So I will often build things up with the sketch pen and shave them back down with the eraser. And only after I'm happy do I take the ink pen and try to go for finished strokes, but even then the eraser get used throughout.
