I'm curious how you get your linework to look so nice. Is it done in pen on paper first?

My lineart looks terrible!
The Jake was a pencil sketch first that I had done at school during a boring lecture, but the Ron one I just did right on the computer. First sketched it out all crazy (the original is in the off-topic thread), and then I liked it enough to make it bigger and clean it up, Lol.

I wish I could make line art like yours. Thats why I'm asking you how. I may be good at coloring but my line art has always sucked big-time! Yours looks so natural, and the lines have varying thickness in the right places, just like a professional comic book ink drawing. So, do you use your original pen lines in your final drawing, or do you trace over them once you've scanned the pic into the computer. Is your coloring done as a layer underneath the lines, or do you use the paintbucket tool to fill in things all on one layer?

I do a lot of cleaing up when it comes to the lines. The original pencil drawing never ends up looking just like the final lineart. Sometimes once you see it on the computer, you can see what really needs to be fixed up, especially when it's narrowed down to one solid line.
My colouring is definitely a layer underneath the lines. No way would I be able to do it all in one layer, too much space open for mistakes.

So you have a way to remove the white of the paper so that you can use your original pencil drawing as the line art, and the layer underneath will show? I always have to use a mouse and redraw over all of my pencil drawings because of the white paper blocking all the layers underneath it. And using a mouse for my lineart tends to make all of my lines look shaky.

No, I redraw all my lines, and then completely get rid of the original picture that gets lost underneath all the colouring and the inking.
