You may notice the lines are scratchier - thatβs because I opted to use my freehanded style. π
Itβs where instead of sketching on another layer then lowering the opacity then lining on another above, I go directly to the lineart. Itβs a drawing process meant to save time & energy (from having to go back over lines Iβve already drawn), but in retrospect itβs a LOT harder to use. π
For one thing, the program I use doesnβt allow me to rotate, enlarge, or shrink shapes without destroying the line quality, and oftentimes I find myself struggling to draw more difficult panels.. π
The version youβre seeing here is a mostly cleaned-up version. (You may also notice Iβve began using this drawing style for my recent Vocaloid comics!) The one thing I like about this style is that it has a more rugged, organic feel - itβs less stiff and more expressive than my βcleanβ sketch-first method. πβοΈ
