Help me figure out this style where the line weight doesn't change. Post more examples / tips on how to do it right.
>>7781790>this style where the line weight doesn't change>some lines are clearly thicker than others>some lines are clearly going from thick to thin in one stroke
It's just lineart my guy, it isn't that complicated.
>>7781793> is wrong> posts a frog where all the lines are the same weightIronic.
>>7781798He is right, they drew this with a brush that has pen pressure. Probably has a minimum size set at 50% or so.
>>7781799It's like 99% same line width why are you being a fucktard?
>>7781801nigga look at this shit, no it is not. you just think it is because it was drawn at a huge resolution and then shrunk down
>>7781806Fucking where you asshole.
>>7781801I'm not, 100% seriousHes using a brush with pen pressure, but capped at 50% or so. It's all mostly the same size because he's drawing too lightly to change the pen size.picrel
>>7781814Crap that was my ref, here:
>>7781801post your art of shut the fuck up
>>7781815OP's is way better though.
>>7781826>post your art of shut the fuck upHere you go.
>>7781834>stiff figureop is literally drawing straight vertical lines.
>>7781813Are you actually, literally blind? Are you parsing these posts through text-to-speech?
>>7781862Those are overlapping lines. Did you even have breakfast this morning?
>>7781864So overlapping lines to create line weight are not line weight? That's just semantics. Some lines are thinner, some lines are thicker. That is not "monoweight".
>>7781876It's not semantics. Each line in the same weight. It doesn't matter if a line crosses another line you disingenuous waste of oxygen. Just kys.
>>7781790
>>7781790Ligne Claire, go read Tintin.
>>7781864Wow Breakfast question is so incomprehensible to retards that you can’t even copy paste it properly
>>7781876this one is literally tapering you retard kek
https://x.com/freezingtarou29https://x.com/watatanzaidk if you need tips for this it's more straightforward and requires less brain power than using brush with pen pressure me thinks
>>7781915meant for >>7781879
>>7781916now these are actual examples of people using a brush with no size variation
The truth is that some retards are just too stupid to understand that anon is pointing at the line width variations done by combining multiple brush strokes to show what makes a constant brush stroke width style work. The secret is line width variation
>>7781790Is a fucking shit, they took the body of a reference, cut off its head and put that animu crap on it, stupid Asians.
>>7781944I think it's these overlapping squigglies that replace what's usually different light width.
>>7781905
>>7781953
>>7781790it stems from animation to keep consistency between framesgood if you want your art to look low-budget (or are actually animating)
>>7781916Why did he connect the balls on star platinums fist like that? I mean how do you know to draw the vague shape of something instead of constructing proper circles? I would have drawn ten perfect circles in perspective and it would have looked like shit. This is the hardest and purest form of drawing ever.
>>7781969ask him not ushe probably just felt like it, you're massively overthinking things.
>>7781969Cause they're shiny. When you look at shiny things they sometimes blend together cause of the glare.
>>7781790French comics has ligne clairehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligne_claireJapanese anime artists probably practice it too since they also go through the dip pen drawing stage. It's pain in the ass to do hatching traditionally, so they'd want to know if there are any art that can express volume without hatching. And yeah French pioneered it.
>>7782022Finally something good in a sea of retardation. Thank you for the link.
Look up Ligne Claire style european comics. Alex Toth and Mike Mignola are good artists to look at for a blunt /dead line style. A lot of animation/anime production art is done with one lineweight. If you're doing digital you could literally use MS Paint and just one line weight. On paper just ink with markers/fineliners like Microns.Here's a tip: don't always connect every line
Ligne claire traditionally doesn't have any hatching. Some areas are filled in with black like captain Haddock's trousers and beard.
You need to look at Moebius. Not "classic" ligne claire but it's related and something to consider
>>7781902Kek
>>7781902You failed the question you fucking retard.
>>7781790unironically hard round brushmake a round brush with no opacity/flow dynamics and no taper or a very slight taper, and set it to between 2-4pxdo the same thing for the eraserthink of it like a gel peni've seen multiple ways of getting the large blocks of black when you need it>lasso select + fill, further refine with eraser>increase pen size to roughly what you need + shape using eraser>>7781806this could be eraser artifacts or actual tapering. these details are trivial though and most won't notice or care. with or without a taper will get you roughly the same line when you're working with lines that small, so long as you have flow/opacity dynamics disable (the more important thing)also gotta keep in mind that aliasing can be an issue on certain screens with lines that thin on a high contrast white background, so a line without a taper can look like its tapering and vice versa at certain resolutionsfwiw i think op's brush has a slight taper, but again, i don't think it matters that much
>>7781806It doesn't look intentional
>>7782066thre is a ton of line width variation at the corners.
>>7782199I can't draw with a setup like this because I need the eraser to be the same as the brush I'm using since its a button on the pen, and if it's thin then the eraser has to accurately go over the line I drew, meaning I need to be able to control my lines in my first place.
>>7782409you can lasso + fill with white to erase as well, assuming you're just doing black-on-whitemight be more natural that wayidk ymmvgl either way
>>7782031Horrible example. That picture is obviously a scanned and binary thresholded drawing on paper where it would have looked better.There's line weight, overlapping lines, lines are connected in most places.
>>7782031>>7782066references like this aren't really useful to study, are they? they are technically not intended for normies viewing pleasure. They're tools meant to help animators. This is like giving someone at a restaurant some lettuce, tomatos, and a cup of dressing. That's not a salad, it's the fundies of a salad. You are supposed to give customers a completed salad.Like if I posted this rei on twitter, I'd get like 20 likes.
>>7782031>On paper just ink with markers/fineliners like Microns.You still get pressure line weight with those while drawing
>>7782408Oh, is there a a TON of line variation in that art, there is a TON of line width variation there is. I see no drawn lines in the corners at all though? It's just white? Just blank space at the corners?
>>7782435>can't draw absolutely perfectly uniform lines to the atomic level 100% of the time regardless of paper quality, tool quality, air humidity, in an earthquake, like a real pro artistNever gonna make it. It's best if you give up now.
>>7782022>>7782031>Ligne claire (French: [liɲ(ə) klɛːʁ]; Dutch: klare lijn [ˈklaːrə ˈlɛin]; both meaning "clear line") is a style of drawing created and pioneered by Hergé, the Belgian cartoonist and creator of The Adventures of Tintin. It uses clear strong lines sometimes of varied width and no hatching, while contrast is downplayed as well.The image on the wiki page has tons of variation, clear line not "one-weight line." Mignola is the only good example so far but that's balanced out by massive use of blacks in inking and his style.>>7782048There's line weight variation all over that image. Actual monoweight illustrations look very boring unless the artist is oozing with appeal. Usually it only works for anime girl or cutesy "comfy" tumblr type art. It ends up looking like stock commercial clip art made in a vector program being overly stiff since even the best use of interrupted lines is carefully planned out.If you don't have a good or distinctive drawing style, removing line weight is going to hold you back and stunt your fundamental development>>7782066Another scanned image from paper with tons of line weight in the original, would've been more soulful if it were full grayscale and not the b&w for an art book
>>7782431If you're looking at a potential piece for studying wondering "what can I learn from this?" then now's not the time to do a study. Studies are for when there's something specific that you know you want to learn from a drawing. Not something broad like "I want to learn their linework", go in with something very specific you're hoping to come out with. "Those lines that seem thickest in the middle and thinner on their extremities seem neat, I'll do a study of this and try to get them to look nice like theirs" is more like how you should be approaching studies. That's how you actually learn from studies. If you don't know what you're trying to get from a study, then don't. Go make some of your own work until you find something specific you want to learn from a study.
>>7782438By corners I mean where lines intersect. They get thicker there due to ink being absorbed by the paper, its a good effect that I'm trying to replicate on digital.
