Again you see this with the mouth, but also traditional eyes in anime skip around half the eye and nose to make it appear more delicate.

Here her breasts are merged together at the middle to indicate suppleness

This isn’t some technique with a name, it's just a stylistic take. To emulate an objects softness, inkers tend to use thinner lines. In this case, two soft objects touching make the line disappear.

And here the drop of sweat on her breasts makes it look like they are melting

Line control I guess? I don't think there's a name for it. If you're having trouble with it then work them out with the eraser tool

Hmm

If you wanted to collect examples of it how would you categorize it though, i.e. coming up with your own word ("partial lines") for it is fine. I know it's a rather trivial thing but I like to be able to discuss and collect examples of this.

I call it suggested line.
Maybe got it from this

>I call it suggested line.

I like that because it's suggestive to the imagination of the viewer, mentally continuing the line

>>6368201
This is silly but it's the same as in a song where a "suggested rhyme" ("half past four.. young lady she looked like a.." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TywmpMQYojs)) or a "suggested note" makes the next word pop into your head by suggesting resolution to the tonic note or what ever. So it's both for introducing softness but also can be used to subvert expectations

>>6368186
It's called line weight and it's how you're supposed to draw overall, theres no keyword for it it's just one of the ways artists convey the illusion of form on a 2d paper.

I'd call it a broken line.

>>6368207
you come from a broke home

So this is why my art always looks like a coloring book

>>6368198
Sauce on that img?
Also OP this thread is relevant to my interests

>>6368198
What is that suggested profile supposed to be? I don't get it

>>6368208
Nah, my family is rich. I've even traveled to all continents. Seeing a lot of different places all over the world greatly helps with creativity. Thanks for reading my blog.

>>6368186
Just another one of the many line art techniques

Creativity flows from observation. You can observe more if you travel more but if you have to be a keen observer to notice new things in old, familiar places where the novelty has worn off, your street, your hometown.
The same with attention, you can gorge yourself on content but it is preferable to train yourself to be present and enjoy with full attention even when nothing new is happening. Full disclosure, I don't do that but it sounds good.

>>6368314
You should start doing that today.

>>6368325
Never

>>6368327
Well, I tried.

>>6368186
It is just an extension of thinking in line weight.

It falls under the umbrella of "implied lines". Google it.

>>6368190
It is quite literally a technique with a name, but it is ultimately just a stylistic thing. One that can be used to achieve a handful of effects.

>>6368186
Line weights seem to be what you're looking for.

sauce on the manga?
