How do I get more uniform clean lines with a mechanical pencil? Mine look gross and I can always see thinner darker lines on top of lighter lines.

put the lighter lines below the darker ones then.

I'm with lineweight, also with a mechanical pencil you can stick the lead out a bit and hold the pencil by its butt then shimmyshammy it back and forth while pressing it down with a constant unchanging force, otherwise it makes a gradient

This is really interesting actually, thanks.

I sketch with 2H lead and use 2B lead to detail/darken lines. Also 0.3 size lead is really nice but it's super fragile so you can't manhandle it.

How the fuck did I not know about this? I'm going to get one to go with my Graph1000 for Pro and make bitches jealous of my Pro-level kit.

Post your ugly lines if you want help with them, OP. As an exercise in lineweight, you could try doing simple perspective drawings with just a 2B pencil( or ballpoint pen) and not erasing. Draw your perspective lines lightly and from the shoulder, gradually get heavier and start anchoring your hand to the page and really etching the graphite into the page. It helps to draw on a pad of paper as the pages below help when you start applying more force.
