Hi! Nana here.
In this class, I'll be teaching you
how you can control your lines
when doing your lineart.
This topic is going to be
a little similar with our previous class,
where I taught you my tips and tricks
for drawing lines.
Often, I see artists,
when doing their lineart,
is they draw a long continuous line,
and they’re trying to make it

as perfect as possible.
This method can be quite pressuring,
since you become too focused
on executing just one perfect line.
Just like what I taught you
in the previous classes,
everything doesn’t need to
be perfect in one go.
We can take it slow
as we build the shape.
Instead of continuously drawing
that one line, or shape,
break it into multiple lines.
Imagine as if you are still sketching,
but this time,
you're going for a more cleaner sketch.
When you look at my lineart,
it looks like there're different weights
distributed on the line.
That’s because
of the way I control my lines,
by continuously shaping them like this.
I’m just connecting the lines,
continuously,
like I am refining my sketch.
See how easier it is,
controlling your lines like this?
Rather than trying to be perfect,
with one line,
by just being steady with your hand?
Can you see the difference
between the two?
The one with less lines
makes the hair look very flat.
Meanwhile, the second one
has more depth into it.
If you have a hard time
controlling your lines,
the stabilizer option,
on your brush settings,
is quite helpful in order to
control your lines better.
I’ll show you where you can find it.
The more you increase your stabilizer,
the more heavier it is
when following the movement of your pen.
For example, if you have shaky hands,
and you try making a stroke,
the line becomes very shaky as well
because of that.
The stabilizer prevents that.
If you increase it,
it'll be less responsive,
so it won’t detect
the shakiness of your hand that much.
When you lower the stabilizer,
the control becomes more responsive
to your hand movement.
See how easy it is
to make a more stable line now?
That’s what the stabilizer is used for.
It makes your lines more stable.
I love using the stabilizer
when doing my lineart.
It helps me make less undos
and have much cleaner lines.
One important thing
to keep in mind as well
is to move your arm and shoulder more
when you're drawing.
Your wrist is very sensitive
to repetitive movement,
and can cause wrist pain.
Not only that, your range of movement
becomes very limited.
Drawing with your arm and shoulder
gives you more range of movement
and available space.
It will take some time to get used to,
but once you've mastered this,
it will make you feel
more free when drawing.
That’s it for today’s class!
Next class, I'll be teaching you
how to add depth on your lines.
