Does anyone know how to make it so that my lines in Paint Tool SAI don’t end up “sharp”? Like, my lines always end up very sharp when I try to do lineart, if I draw a line “too fast” instead of dragging it out at a snail’s pace. But then trying to slowly draw my lines makes them smooth, but wobbly. It’s like I can’t win.This is the best I’ve got as far as an example goes:

See how the edge circled in green is really smooth and vectorized, and the one in red is very sharp and almost binary looking? I can’t seem to get it fixed so that I can make lineart without hating it. And I know it’s possible because, like.. I see all sorts of people who do it without issue??? So I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

Does anyone have any tips for drawing bodies? Like, I’m still trying to do the ones from that post I made a while back asking for different body types, but I just feel like none of them are good enough to post, or good at all? I can’t seem to get like... the muscles connecting to each other right. Like I can draw the basic “pose” but when I try to add any sort of detail, like any, everything suddenly turns into a hopeless scribble. And don’t even get me started on trying to get legs to attach to the body correctly. Or legs in general.

I need a chef dragon. Or maybe like, a trio of chef dragons. Dragons that just love to cook and make good food so that’s all they do all day.

Please reblog this link and tell me what you think about the art shop so far? Are the "prices" good? It's not quite finished, I still have to put the images in for the stuff I won't take (there isn't a lot) and code the last post so I can actually display finished stuff. But, what do you guys think? Does this look good?

Listed them all on the AH for 50k! They’re only up for three days, and then they’re either getting exalted or I’m drawing art for them and putting them up for an additional 100k. Get ‘em while they’re hot!

Who could help me code an art shop? I wanna make one for the Pay What You Want Familiar/Apparel/Accents/Skincents thing, but I’m actually awful at coding. Ideally I’d have a place for rules, examples of my art, stuff I do not want/won’t accept, maybe a wishlist of stuff I hope to get, and a place for an order form. I’m not asking anyone to make it for me! Just... if someone could show me how to make it so it might look... nice? Thanks in advance if anyone has advice! vwv
