hate that the advice to blur your sketch before you start lining it is so helpful. i put so much work making that sketch overly clean and detailed and now the best thing i can do with it is turn it into soup. mad. and yet it does work. it really really works.
yeah its real... i wish i could find the tumblr post i got this advice from myself ages ago because its got great examples in it. but essentially it stops you from just needing to trace your own sketch. like stops you from attempting to recreate marks youve aready drawn and just provides you scaffolding for making new ones in a much more dynamic and less finicky way. kind of hard to describe but i just recommend trying it for yourself and seeing how it feels.
