      Though your own artstyle is more individual with (preferably) some uniqueness.
      U can copy other artists’ aspects and after a while u will adapt to those

      I've wanted something like this for a very long time. When you do a search for UA-cam videos on line weight you get almost nothing and only a few of what you do get are very good.

      The reason I specifically asked Demon Slayer and not an 80s or 90s anime is because its art style has a particular emphasis on line weight AND it happens to have popularity and relevance right now. If you don't care for that, good for you. I'm not pandering to snobs.

    I can admire the original for its triumphant nature in that the dragons are recognizing you as a symbol, but this just sounds sooo much better even with the context. Nothing jubilant here, just a pair of dragons with powers considered distrastous to the planet, yet are humble enough to maintain peace.

I use Clip Studio Paint and my linework is always on a vector layer, just because I'm trying to make a webcomic where I draw the pages in print format first, then go back and resize/rearrange panels into a scrolling format.
      Literally have been working on it for a year now and have hardly anything to show for it, but I'm not the most disciplined at working every day, as I also stream three times a week and work full time 😅

    I used to draw like this, and still somewhat do... I found with realism sketches, it's great to use for important lines that are subtle and easy to lose.... Like elbow creases, direct lighting or shadow points, the curve of a car or an underboob..... It's used slightly differently than in comics, but ALOT the same

      There's, unfortunately, not a one-size-fits-all path because of all of the different styles that fall under "drawing".
