INK THIS, NOT THAT [Inking Mistakes to Avoid]

- Hey guys, this is my inking video! (Photoshop CS6) I used the Inking Thick n' Thin brush from Kyle T. Webster's brush megapack for the good lineart. If you want to create the effect of high pen pressure in real life, try using a brush pen like Pentel! Just make sure not to smudge the wet ink.

My art style has a much more "sketchy" type of line art. I use a ballpoint pen brush and it looks like traditional art. I'm actually proud of it.
@Crow Who cares
I care. It's nice to see people with different artstyles from what is considered 'the norm'
DesignzRUs1 I do, you don’t, you suck.
Same! When I was first getting into inking (like, middle school) I got really upset that I couldn't get consistent lines like the professionals did; my art was super sketchy even after inking it. :( But when I showed people (to complain) they said they liked it, and said the sketchiness gave my art "character" that wasn't generic like other "professional" linework... So I actually really appreciate it and it's become part of my style.
Crow actually I consider it ugly and unfinished personally. Looks like you’re chicken pecking, which is a traditional and digital mistake many people make.
I've never been good with drawing wrinkles and folds on clothes
It's never an easy thing to do. The best thing I can suggest is take photos and draw over them until you can see the way the folds lay over things and where the the anatomy beneath shows through.
Maddy Martinez fabrics is so hard. I can't do velvet or leather...
Try this. Search " how to draw folds PDFs" on google and download a PDF of a book showing you how to draw folds on clothes etc etc. It's something I do now :D (its actually a book your downloading but in a PDF form)

Line weight and pressure depends on your stylistic choices. I have art styles that look absolutely better in a consistent line weight.
A lot of animation also uses consistent line weight. I think of The Last Airbender and the likes.
I think it does make for clean looking animation and it looks nice.
True true in the Avatar thing, but in many cases the consistency is thinner and still not as chunky as many amateur looking pieces. There’s a lot of styles that are more simplistic and having one clean, thicc line weight is good. It’s mostly the shambling that makes a lot of art look weird when it has the thiccer lines. Same goes for thinner line weights, but to me I don’t personally see it as often and as harshly as with the thiccer weights.
@@kottonkandy0962 I mean you can choose a smaller brush....it doesn't have to be thick lol
Tbh i feel like the things you say not to do can be accomplished well if you're a skilled enough artist! No pen pressure sometimes has a nice look to it
no...not really. You might be thinking of artists who use the pen tool on photoshop to make flat well rounded lines, but when drawing without pen pressure its virtually impossible to draw an entire image without bumps, seamlessly.
I agree. Like anything, it takes practice and effort. It's one of those things that can look nice when applied to artwork.
Prism0lly ? are bumps bad? messy lines can be good for like conveying motion. and things like drawr and iscribble dont have pen pressure but ive seen good art come from both those sites
Well, I'm an artist using tablets for quite a long time and lately I've been linearting with all kind of methods.
Sometimes I use the brush with lower density and 100% pressure so it's like not using pressure, in that case i tend to use a really small brush.
Sometimes I use the method here of having pressure and bigger brush.
I've noticed that awesome japanese artists that I follow tend to lineart without pressure, but with the smalllest of brushes and their work turn out awesome for me.
If I can tell the truth I used to spend much time watching these kind of videos trying to find out other artists secrets about linearting....it's when I noticed that everyone does it differently getting awesome results that I stopped and found out my own methods.
+Prism0lly Honestly, I think the only time no pen pressure really works is in animation.
I love you lavender! I'm very new to digital art, I only started last week and a lot of people say that it's good for my first few drawings! I always watch your videos if I have problems with drawing :D
Also when paying for a program think of what it is being used for. For multipurpose art (animation, comics, etc) I recommend Clip Studio Paint Pro, which is what i have. Its around $70 and its a really good program. I hear SAI is good as well for digital painting but I’m not sure if its suited for comics and animations.
Uhhhh you don't need a drawing tablet to start out :") I drew with a trackpad for almost a YEAR and I was pretty decent at it.
Olive Oil you don't accually need a drawing tablet to use a pc or even a regular tablet thats what I did for like the first two years of my digital art but you don't NEED an art tablet though....
If they want a good art having a tablet isn't everything. ;v;
You can draw amazing art with a mouse or a trackpad or even an i-Pad/Phone sometimes :/
Olive Oil I draw on an IPad in a realatively cheap art program, and it’s working out pretty fine for me. I just got a touch pen for my birthday, but I can’t find it, so I’m using my finger. This, of course means that my lines can be a bit wobbly, but not much. Of course my art isn’t the best, because I’m just starting out, but it isn’t true that it can’t be "good", just because it isn’t on a drawing tablet.
dammit, inspiration for things I can't dO

When you have a mouse and no access to pen pressure :')
Sad.
You can cheat pen pressure!
Give lines thickness and/or erase the ends so they give the effect of pen pressure
Tykit Fleine Oh god, my pieces are usually 2000 by 3000. That'll be fun lol
I use GIMP, which is different, of course, but it offers choices like "speedier lines are thinner" or "gradual tapering as the line goes on" under Dynamics Options; I can't imagine Photoshop doesn't have a similar set of options.

NoraNeko lol ur great
OH MY GOD I ALWAYS PICK MY HAND UP no wonder my inks are so bad lol
that piece of advice alone earned you a sub
For the record, that doesn't actually make a difference for a lot of people, myself included. I'd imagine it only improves your lineart if you're the pen-mashing type(you usually apply a lot of pressure, and/or ESPECIALLY if you don't take any amount of serious time/effort to make your lines look nice(like how fast they did their lines is simply not how long lines normally will take an expert digital artist; that's just reality... if you want to improve, you need to take the time to make your work look nice -- this of course doesn't apply if you're content to make art as good as the artist in the video & not better, or want to limit yourself to drawing cartoons at this level)), haha. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It comes down to what's good for you, & what you as an individual want to do.
TL;DR: it's a nice tip, but don't take it and run with it. Just keep it in mind, lest you commit yourself to never improving. As an artist, best not to put limits on what you do, or put yourself in a metaphorical box!
Good luck, stranger.

"I'm just showing the fluffiness"
My favorite line in this video
if you don't have pen pressure you can take the time to use an eraser to make lines thinner in some parts or to make sharper points
with dark fills or black fills you can also follow the steps of filling on a different layer but instead of erasing the lines you can toggle lock opacity or some wording of that which does what it says, the opacity of the pixels can't be changed in that mode but the color can be, you can run over that with white or whatever color you'd like to use with just your pen tool
You're definitely my favorite artist/tutor to watch on here. Your voice is so soft,, it's rlly calming. Also, this style and character reminds me of Wirt from Over the Garden Wall.

I like how her voice sounds timid at first but gradually gets more relaxed/confident.
How do you get such clean lines? Don't your hands shake and stuff?
Also, what settings do you use for pen pressure? I've never been able to figure out ones that work for me.
Like most artists,In my way.I did art for 7 years.And in that time training your hand to stay still is how also being calm.Long time ago my hand was very crazy.
practicing keeping a steady hand will help with both traditional and digital artwork, if lines still seem shaky in digital art you may need to raise the pen stabilizer settings. I personally keep my settings when sketching at 3, and S-5 when inking (with paint tool sai) i find that those settings, at least for me, are the closest to the traditional feel of drawing.
Erick Rodriguez Alright. What does the S mean for sensitivity settings on the drawing tablet btw? Cause I've never been able to figure that out.
Naomi Nekomimi I'm actually not sure lol. It goes in order though with lower numbers being less stable and higher numbers being more stable. There were 7 "S" settings, all of which were above 15, so id assume theyre either more stable or experimental settings.
Erick Rodriguez for better Stability it's crucial to have it above 10 (for me anyway)
More often than not anything below 7 is very wimsy almost like drawing on paper while holding a pencil between only your thumb and your forefinger. It's difficult and very flimsy
Anything above ten is usually more stable and allows for smoother lines, however it doesn't mean youMll have straight lines automatically, it just means you'll have a better chance at getting bumps and squiggles in your lineart
Even the shitty one is better than what I can make >->

@@cantartin6721 we know why are you determined to bring up that horrible memory
I have a really bad habit of lifting up my hand and getting that really uneven and shaky line work, so currently I'm trying to get out of that habit :,3
Butter Spice try using a stabalizer, it might help a little bit
BLGamer Girl Stabilizers are designed for long strokes, not choppy short strokes, I'd recommend getting in the habit of doing long, smooth strokes and then maybe get a stabilizer
EvanLikesShrubs yes, I said a "little bit" on purpose. I tried making a drawing with short lines without a stabalizer, then I tried the same with a stabilzer. It wasn't much better, but the lines did line up more
Place a paper underneath your palm on the tablet. Always keep palm on the tablet and try keep the motion fluid. Also, if you got a wacum pen. Make sure to keybind alt+z into the buttons. So you can erase a line you aren't happy with.
something you can also do to make nicer lines is always try to use your whole arm instead of just the wrist :p it makes lines smoother and more directed (at least from what I can tell)
The hard thing is I'm using my finger to draw,so it's kinda hard to follow the stroke without my hand covering the drawing.
I've also been scared of using sharp pens cause I'm afraid it'll mess up my art ;-;
Sparkle Kitten it probably won’t mess up your art but help it more (if you use it right) but i can’t speak from experience since i just draw traditional
Me too. Sharp pens make my art more messy 😔
There are cheaper pens with rounder edges and they kinda have some friction to avoid sliding the only bad thing is that they don’t have the fancy things apple pens have such as tapping the pen to switch tools
You can always increase the thickness. Trust me, it works really well.
i love ur art stlye, it looks like a more child friendly tim burton style but like i said more child friendly and i learned a lot from ur vids on how to improve ur art and i think these vids are very usefull especially for the beginners

nikki pontius wow, homestuck fan. Hello.
Can you do this but with coloring? Like over shading, off color skin, because my line art is fine until I start to color it.

I like how she shows visual examples of both the wrong way and right way. A lot of artist tutorials don't do that, they only show the right way which makes you confused if you're doing it right or wrong because some people don't know terms to things or what the artist is trying to say. Lavender keeps it in simple summaries and visually shows what to do and what not to do.

I think this is very dependent on style
Personally I've tried different width lines in my style and it looked wrong.
My style is pretty cartoon like, and a more geometric style, if that makes sense, you know I have alot of circles, and bounces, and shapes and things, very 2D, lavenders town uses a very flowey style. and I'll use different sizes of lineart, occasionally, but I do enjoy keeping it similar though, it keeps a very nice, consistent look to it.
If you want to get the tapered, inconsistent line effect but don't have a proper pressure sensitive tablet or program (or if you're using a mouse, for some reason), you can ink the entire picture with consistent lines and then go back through and erase edges where you want points and tapers. It takes a bit more time, but you get essentially the same effect.
I think some aspects of the "not to do" side is cute, I believe that in art their is no right or wrong, just preference
It's so funny that one of the tips in this video is to not pick up the pen while drawing, when now her advice is to pick up the pen because the imperfections give the drawing character. (If you do it intentionally of course). I love that her art has made so much progress since the start of this series.

Acute or obtuse?
An obtuse angle?
Good to remember that everything in art takes practice. I knew all of these rules but I'd get frustrated with the getting the lines down in one go. I put off inking for a long time thinking it 'just wasn't my thing' because everyone else I saw could just do it without issue. A lot of artists already have that flicking motion down pat so don't expect yourself to be able to emulate it on the first go.
Also, if you can brake these rules in a way that works for you, go for it.
oh yes that's absolutely true! I forgot to make my usual disclaimer haha, all my advice is just stuff that worked for me, there are many other ways to make art. c:
Tbh. As someone who does digital art myself (probably nowhere near as recognized), I really disagree with tutorials that tell people what not to do and what to do. This is nothing against the artist, it's just a personal opinion. I think people who are getting into digital art should work more on doing things their way rather than what other people tell them it should be like. It's all about finding what's right for you and experimenting for yourself; of course, watching these videos for ideas is in no way wrong. It's alright to want a starting point - I'm just saying you shouldn't rely on tutorials to develop your own work. Unless of course if it's just like techniques to help you do certain things easier or if you're unsure about things.
Andy Cavvelwood hey, I'm thinking on starting digital art and your comment really helped me :33 Also, hi Dave!
Andy Cavvelwood I 100% agree
Homestuck?
Andy Cavvelwood Certainly most agree with you because if any artist wanted to start out digital art, some may not agree by relying on tutorials by self and taught artists. Whereas, self taught artists does indeed have to reconsider while any artist can make mistakes. However, every artist has their own opinions straight forward and sometimes negative. Therefore, most people comes into an argument whom, backs up their own opinions regarding the do's and don't or mistakes digital artists make. To summarize, from other artists experience, it is all up to you without following any of the rules. Specifically, you will feel so much confident doing line art while sketching, or refining even I do notice, that the ends of the hair should look tapered. In contrast, human hair is different because there are different ways and steps, deciphering into incredibly nice and detailed clumps of hair strands showing.
Agreed. It's not wrong to give tips, but it's up to the person themselves to ask themselves whether or not they'll utilize it or not. (Or to be inspired by it) We've probably seen artists whose line work aren't pen pressured at all - yet they are very well done. Pretty much what Karoline said.

Great advice! I always love to watch you ink. I do think static line weight can look good as a stylistic choice provided you are very confident with it - like using technical pens. I work with technical pens sometimes and I love using a static brush size with a little scatter to get the same feel.
Ah yes that's definitely true, some people can make such beautiful work with static line weight! I don't know how the heck they do it. :0
something you should try if you can't keep the 'feel' of your sketch after inking it, try cleaning up your sketch and using that instead! ive been doing it and it really looks great to me :D
MooMooMilkshake Words of encouragement! That sounds incredible and definitely keep your line art consistent. :)
I also heard somewhere that if you don't strictly follow the sketch, only using it as a loose guideline, it can help to keep your lines lively. ^v^
MooMooMilkshake if you're not worried about speed and only do digital art, you could do this. I think most artists just do a rough sketch, keeping details they want to add in mind, then do more detailed and exact line art. Might partially be a holdover from the pen and ink days, but it works well with digital too and is probably faster too.
Of course, it does take a lot of practice, which will then develop your confidence, but long term the way it was done in the tutorial is better for most drawings.
L3cargo That is very true. It helps loosen your strokes because you aren't trying to be super precise.
I usually make a very messy drawing in very light pencil and draw through forms and don't erase much. Mostly scribble and then go over.it with a darker line. Then I finalize it by going over it more loosely with a really dark pencil.
I love how gentle your voice is, and it's really good to see the differences side by side.

Can you do a video on how to develop an art style? I know the answer is gonna be "practice" but i try to and it always ends up pretty bad. I commented this on another one of your videos but the replies I got didnt help so much. I am really small and I use a mouse but I really want to become an artist here on youtube!
I'll put it on the list. c:
:DD
Once you learn and "master" (keep in mind, mastering art completely is impossible) the basics, you'll eventually begin to develop your own style naturally. If you try to force it in, it will show. I think you should just go with the flow and see where you end up in the future :)
Konekou I know that Im not lavender, but a good idea is to use references. No shame in using then to keep proportions good, etc. and by using references I mean putting them beside your work and looking at how they look when you need to, and not tracing directly over them.
Seoeun Kim personally I'd keep reference somewhere else and when you can't do something, you do quick studies of multiple references and then go on with your drawing. so you don't just copy one source

I'm glad your voice is like this so I can turn up my phone and not be scared of how loud it is because your voice is soothing
This is kinda random, but whenever I go from watching lavendertowne to something else, everything just seems really loud.
Are you the author of Unfamiliar? I swear, your art looks soooo similar...
Yep that's me! c:
:D OMERGOD!!!
Yes. Lavendertowne is Haley mewsome! Btw I love the unfamiliar comic. I really hate it when I read it all and then need to wait for an update!
Does this work the same way on paper? I only do paper drawing and I sometimes ink them.
Muffintops No.
Muffintops Actually, yes. Many principles of inking like line weight, not sketching your inks, etc. will apply. Obviously different tools (traditional vs digital) means some things won't be 1 for 1 in application.
Muffintops no.
that would depend on your tools, and be really certain with how much pressure you apply anywhere. But yes, it's the same overall principle, but if you would be using a brush(/ brush pen) or a felt tip/ ball pen of different sizes (0.1, 0.05, 0.5..?).
Muffintops Yeah, it does. Like, not always make everything permanent size, and stuff ^-^
Tysm! I'm a young artist at age 11 and i have so much trouble with inking so this really helped!
Tolerance on the fill was a freakin' game-changer! THAAAAANK YOU! You've helped my daughter & me with our digital art so much!
A little tip! If you struggle with getting your lines straight, you can either use a stabilizer or ink it your way, in the end, it's usually useful to go over with a small sized eraser to sort of smoothen out the lines if they look jagged like in the right side! it's really useful and gets your lines looking smooth and pretty, it won't have as good as an effect as the left side, but if you're starting out with inking, its a good tip to try!
Saw this in my suggestions, was *not* disappointed
I always lift up my hand and I have a shaky hand, so that's a big problem for me. I also get those white lines, and I never knew why. And I never bothered with the pen pressure, either. Thank you *so* much for this!~
*You*, my friend, have earned a like and an active sub~ :3
This is awesome! I never realized how much these simple tips can make a difference. I definitely saw some of my own habits in what you were saying not to do, so thank you! I'll certainly keep this in mind. :)
i can be ur angle.... or ur devl..... ( btw, this is nice! really helped me a lot! :3c )
How many degree angle?
One Giant Nostril the acute angle.
oh my GOD
Be a reflex angle for meee.
thank you so much for the tips on all layers checked, tolerance, and erasing the detail lines. It's the little things that take away such a headache
For those who use Ibis Paint X and use finger: There's a pen called Japanese pen or something like that, how it works is: the slower you draw your line, the thicker it'll be and the faster you draw the line, thr thinner. It makes your drawings look really nice! Try it out!
This is my first time in your channel
I love your voice, is just so... calming....
This video was useful to me, even if I don't do digital art
Thank you for making this
omg thank you I've never needed tips I'm anything more than lineart. I literally give up on pieces when I realise I gotta do lineart
If it bothers you so much then you can always bend your style around only colouring.
I actually dont usually use pen pressure for my lineart, but I do use a stabilizer for smooth lines. I don't know if I'll try pen pressure because the brush I use has a pencil texture, and it looks good on its own. I might try it out though.
You've no idea how much this helps.
honestly i love drawing w/out pen pressure sometimes. it forces me to think about the composition dynamically instead of relying on the line weight to make it look dynamic. also it can give a cute, simple look that's hard to get with a lot of difference in line weight. it sucks when your pen pressure wont work but it can be fun if you work with it!
Can you make a tutorial on coloring, as well? I really love the way you color your pieces and I want to know how you do it. I want to transmute it to create a personal coloring style. ^^
She's planning a colouring/shading tutorial, I read it a bit further down from her answer to another comment, so I she's gonna make one
Emli2002 Sweet! Thanks!
^yep,Haley said it would be coming out in a couple of weeks.^.^
I really wish I watch this when I got my drawing tablet but luckily now I know not to do sketches as line work
your style is just so cute and cool i had to check it out do you have a patreon?
Thank you so much!
You desurve it :)
Omg you're so nice it's really reare now a days thank you
I like how you're calm and patient when giving advice. I've seen a lot of videos where artists are really kind of mean about advice.
I liked how you used the Angel dude for all the right ways to ink and the demon dude for the wrong like it was probably obvious but I didn't realise til later! Very helpful video 💕

I have such a problem with clothing wrinkles. Thank you!
Wouldn't the don'ts go for a certain art style you're going for? Cause I actually use a lot of jagged lines when I'm inking some drawings I've done and still doing ._. (sorry if I didn't make any sense while typing that)
Can you show me an example? It just shows me if its okay with the artwork or if it looks non-good.
I have a video of me showing most/all of my drawings I had done (some inked some not) on Instagram if that's okay, if it is, mine is @_bts.shit_
But what advantages are there for using that "certain art style". The reason lines are done the way they are on the left are to lead the way, seem more natural, and add variety. There's not much reason to have blocky, jagged lines other than to complete a piece faster. But a piece that looks better, but took longer will always be superior.
Not to say you can't use that style, I'm just sharing my thoughts on it. ^ ^
style isn't an excuse for bad execution
ArtsyViking I understand that most drawings with those types of jagged, blocky lines aren't to great (pretty much all my work I've ever done) but I do use the side on the left fr more often. I've been just looking around trying to see if I can find a new art style to try out. So I've been trying out thick edges and some jagged lines, which they actually come out pretty nicely. Also, sorry if my first comment was a bit confusing, I was just curious if it was still okay to use some of the line work and such on the right. ^^;
I've never thought that the kind of the pen can make such a difference
It will help me so much
Very helpful, thank you. I also like how the poorly inked one is the Devil, and correctly inked one is the Angel, nice touch.
