Ahh you’re so kind! Inspiration is a big word, I’m honored you’ve decided to give it to me lmaoBasically, outside of the general “practice straight lines!” and stuff, I’ve got like two things I use a LOT are 1. Do not be afraid to use the eraser!! and 2. Use TONS of layers!!

For 1. as you can see here I draw a lot of lines that all overlap one another, and then erase each of the overlaps to get this even-sized smooth line all the way through. It helps prevent little transparent corners! Its also relaxing for a break from linework.

2. LAYERS! I use upwards of 30 layers in a single piece. I eventually condense them down into one or two final layers, or keep them in one or two folders. But, while I’m working, being able to ‘overdraw’ on a new layer helps SO much with getting that perfect line

As you can see here ^ I hella overshot that line into Sunny’s face, but because of how it was on a different layer, I could just erase the excess without damaging all my previous work.

A small odd job company Comet Moose Operations was established by Bori Conway on his 18th birthday some 50 years ago. With a large gift from his family fortunes, he set off to set his name in the stars.

It didn’t go exactly to plan. Bodged jobs, bad deals, and dodgy contacts saw Bori’s stipend cut off 5 years after he left. Without his families backing Bori would have no choice but to give up his fools endeavour and return home.

WRONG!

Bori, never one to look at the line between boldness and bloody stupidity, kept Comet Moose going, taking any and all work to keep his enterprise, his pride and joy going.

Now Comet Moose finds itself with one last opportunity, to punch through the wall of mediocrity, and break into glory.
