How do you get such thick lineart while still having sharp edges? Like on the amplify piece?
for my method of achieving this, i use two things:
a really thick brush and the eraser tool!!!
to erase, i use a hotkey to turn my brush transparent
it gives my lineart that jagged, crunchy look! aside from doing the "draw-and-erase" method, i also draw my lines more angular so it can boost the sharpness :]

“Hey Artlings! 🧋here’s my beginners lineart tutorial in which I teach you how to draw Perfect line art in procreate and any other program with streamline. I show you the secrets to do smooth clean lines and get rid of that chicken scratch and how to actually make your line art look like your sketch! While it can be as simple as using the classic line technique, there are a lot of things that can help you have the best lineart experience ever! These are all the things that I wish I knew when I was making manga style commissions and trying to get clean lines as a not so clean artist. As this is a #beginnersarttutorial I will be going into some depth of some settings that might be, and while my lineart is technically not perfect, this information in the right hands (aka someone dedicated to line art) will definitely be able to make their lines perfect.” - Artsytsaa
Here you go!!! 🥰 This is my biggest tutorial yet - long and detailed guide attempting to explain how I approach technical aspects of lineart (lines weight and coloring/ color choosing!)
Just posted a free tutorial on Patreon. We recently had an impromptu lineart lesson on stream and I decided to expand on it a bit. Includes a download link for the video, JPG examples, and brushes I use!
Adding variating thickness to certain areas of your art-- like around silhouettes and bulky clothing-- helps give your art more depth and dimension. You can experiment with line weight if you feel like your lineart is too flat or missing a certain je nais se quois. It's a simple tip, but it's something my art has been complimented on numerous times for and does wonders in improving lineart!

Lineart Tips Part 2 Copy Paste Transform Lineart 🌹
(Subject: Ruby Rose from RWBY reimagined as a Reploid from MegaMan Zero aka my RWBY MMZ AU)
Never be afraid to use the tools and functions your art program provides you. They're there for a reason. While there are some artists who prefer to draw things by hand, not every artist who uses digital art programs has the patience for that.
Sometimes the Transform tool is helpful for fixing up some corrections of a drawing like fixing the perspective, making the drawing upright, fixing the position of the drawing, etc.
I want to see your lineart layer so badly??? How do you make line art work with the color so well? When I draw it feels sometimes like the line art is fighting against the color but when I see your art I get the opposite of that. Your lineart and colors are working together beautifully. How????
Hii, sorry for the late reply T^T it just took me sometime to organize this lol
I know you only asked to see my lineart layer but I also wanted to show how I color it too.. I hope you don't mind!
Ngl lineart is my less favorite part when I'm drawing, it just takes me so loooong orz it makes the coloring easier tho so I usually do it for commissions!
I don't think my lines are good so I just render above it to make it look better, if I'm drawing to myself I just clean up my sketch and go for the coloring/rendering which are my fav parts.
I'm not a professional or anything so this is the only tip I can give you lol it's what worked for me at least o<< I hope this is helpful..
Hi! Love your art and I have a question—how do you color your lineart? I’ve been working on digital drawing and I can’t seem to get it to look like I want. Are you just changing the layer to a different overlay or do you color your lines or…. Idk 🤷🏻♀️
hi! i'm glad you like my art :) i'm assuming you're talking about this because I don't normally color my lineart. i think colored lineart looks nice, but it's so time consuming...
regardless, my process is under the cut!
So, above is how i normally do my lineart. I color in all black, then copy and paste the layer using an auto action. In Clip Studio Paint, it's called "retro effects" with the content id 1953549. It tends to give it a 90s anime-like glow. This is what I do with about 90% of my drawings. (Although my lineart tends to be thinner than this, so it works a bit better. This isn't really lineart, it's just a sketch i cleaned up.)
If you don't have CSP, i'm pretty sure all it does is change the color, add a gaussian blur, and lower the opacity.
But, for this picture, i tried something new.
instead of drawing in black, I drew in this reddish brown color. On the right is what it looks like with the flats underneath.
And then, I set the lineart to multiply, and viola! A softer, more natural look. This required a bit of clean up, because I had to drawn under his eyebrows and eyes so that it wasn't weirdly light on his face.
This is something new i was experimenting with. I really like dark black lineart, but it was fun to try. It took me a long time to find the first process, and i tried a bunch of different stuff in between, and am still messing around with different things now. Experiment and find fun things, too!
