Why does my line quality look so bad

someone using the same exact brush as me

cleaner lines and diff opacity but it can depend on how hard u press

ok ty

Its also down to practice. That person clearly has had more practice than you in that brush. Just like with any new medium it takes time to adjust

You also are doing sketches which dont really have hard cut lines like the other person’s pic

hello piece, as for the actual usage of the brush, i noticed that she uses some sort of blur brush as an eraser, as well as an actual half opaque eraser in order to get rid of some construction lines

other than that, the brush isn't really the problem as you aren't very decisive with your lines hence why you have so many lines that don't serve a purpose

the answer (according to my analysis) lies in lineweight and cleaner lines

i second this

• Take more time before each line. Think about the line before you draw it, where it starts and where it ends.

• Draw less lines. Count how many lines you make. animators sometimes make sure the leg has a certain number of lines.

• Draw longer lines. You can put a lot of detail in 1 line, and this can help you be more effective and conscious. If you had to draw an arm with 1 line, you would think a lot more about it.

• Practice lines and circles.
  I do pages of lines and circles because its a fantastic warm up. If I can’t do a perfect circle how can I expect to draw a head. If I can’t do a perfect line how can I draw the Line I want?

Finally. Focus on fundamentals. When you focus in your art and story, lines become a tool, to make sure people know exactly what you’re telling. Lines become something that enhances your other skills like Volume, perspective, composition. Lines will inevitably become better the more you get better at everything else. So have fun!

…also I think pikat does like 2 passes sometimes.

So don’t forget you can go back over and clean it up on another layer.

It might be the size It looks pixilated and thin like chicken scratch the brush needs to be bigger to extend a wide range of pressure so you can get softer thiner or wider and bolder strokes the other person's drawing looks like it was blended after on the left peice of work and on the right it is obvious they used the same brush but on a larger scale check your brush size and do some exercise like making circles or lines at diffrent speed and pressure to figure out what the difrrence might be

[magic moss]

Too scratchy and no line weight

Be more confident with your lines

"If I can’t do a perfect circle how can I expect to draw a head"
dam man, i cant draw a perfect circle but i draw heads just fine (i think).

[abstract depot]

You know how some days it just feels like a bad drawing day. Like I just can't to draw the head right today.

On those days, I like to check by doing circles. And usually I realise "oh, I'm not warmed up yet, that's why I feel like I can't draw",

I'm definitely exaggerating for effect so don't take it too seriously. But I stil think of it like that.

i see lmao, maybe i will try that too sometime when im not feeling it, thanks for the tip

[worldly kiln]

Just turn the head into a circle

SpongeBob method works all the time
