On a more serious note, I am forever astounded by your ability to make such great lines digitally. I keep trying and trying and mine always end up looking thick and clunky. And my poses seem really stiff while yours are always dynamic and fluid.
And my lines most likely stem from my custom brushes. One of the benefits of digital software. It's really about shape dynamics, try flipping it on on the brush you're using if you aren't. If your tablet has pressure sensitivity then the lighter you press the thinner the line is, harder = thicker. Lets you get nice wispy lines with quick strokes. (Assuming you're using Photoshop that is, though other good art programs should have something similar I'd assume.)
Shippu can ride on Siobhain's shoulders and berate her. She's probably into that given her soldier-esque mentality. Like Yoda. A tiny, attractive, angry Yoda.
I have a Create Bamboo tablet and I've discovered that there is...like little to no pressure sensitivity. I've fiddled with it a lot and I haven't gotten much out of it. When I was working with GIMP I found this tutorial that said I could put a fade on a line that mimics the effect of thickness/pressure sensitive by length but it didn't work so well on varying-lengths of lines. I'm using CS2 now but I've yet to try again at a freehand piece just with the tablet. I suppose I'll have to give that a shot and maybe see about what I can do with the brushes.
Thank you! Your expertise on the matter is appreciated.
