how do you achieve the soft look in your art, especially your lineart? it's so beautiful!

Hi there!! Thank you for the kind words! 🫶🫶🫶💕💕

I think my line art looks “soft” because I don’t actually do a line art layer.

For most of my work, I just start off with a sketch using a pencil brush. Then I add a linear burn layer on which I add my flat colours. After that I just paint on top of what I want to render. I “outline” things as I render if they need an outline, and just colour the rest of the shapes in. I’m not sure how to explain it but I’ve attached a time-lapse of some of my rendering so you can see—I don’t know how useful it will be, and also the quality is really bad, but I hope it helps a bit!!

I use a round/oval brush (with only brush opacity being pressure sensitive) for everything past the sketch layer.

Also, tbh most of the time I don’t really mind things not being perfect, so I render by slapping just enough lines of colour on my page to distinguish what things are or to fix proportions. (See: The Azula drawing attached, there’s not much of a difference between the linear burn layer drawing and the “rendered” drawing)
