I'm insterested to draw in this type of drawing: Ligne Claire.

For more detail about this style: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligne_claire

Any recommendation? I used traditional media to make the lines (pencils, rotring marker. Sometimes i used photoshop to review the drawn lines). After this i used photoshop or letraset marker to add the color.

Artists references? Hergé, of course. Winsor McCay, Moebius, Ozamu Tezuka, Walter Crane... etc.

Let's discuss about that.

Thanks (And sorry for my English.)

You may want a mapping nib if you're seeking to emulate McCay's look. It would look good in combination with watercolours but I haven't tried it yet.

Fundamentals. Fundamentals out the ass. Without line weight, heavy blacks or fancy rendering you have nothing to hide behind.

Unless everyone wears frock coats, in which case feel free to run before you can walk. Maybe he style is better suited to colder climates.

I have occasionally taken Geoff Darrow's reference. But I see it too charged, reaching a point that can be slightly confusing.

Yes, similar technique. He's another reference in this style of drawing

I look another example in P.Craig Rusell. But he often uses more gradity of colours than usual in Ligne Claire style.

My advice is do not hatch at all when you're drawing, just don't think about it
Try not to break up the lines, again it's all about economy and using 1 good line to deliver say a wrinkle in the fabric than 5 lines that may be more realistic

I recommend using a stiffer nib like a kabura or felt tip liners rather than very flexible nibs like the hunt 102 or gpens, not a must by all means but it's more comfortable

all hatching should be done as sparingly as possible and it should deliver volume AND texture.

when you're coloring you're going to have to use complementary colors (over a good organization of values) so that your things of interest will pop. don't go too dark ofc

if you're shading keep your shadows layer at something like 30% or less
