When I draw, any slight imperfection on the lineart makes me disgusted, I have to redo lines until they look perfect.

When I see people's art, it's completely fine.
Pic related, I can't even see the imperfections unless I zoom in.
Full of wobbly lines, the ear is a good example of something I'd redo until its roundness was just fine, but clearly it doesn't matter in the great scheme of things.

Is this a matter of scale?
There are even uncolored pixels in the eye/hair.

How much of a perfectionist are you?
How much is too much?

Do you zoom in much when you drawn? I tend to keep my image at 100% or less unless there's a particular detail I NEED to zoom in for.

Staying zoomed out might help you focus on the overall image and less on the irrelevant details no one but you notices.

I'm currently working on a 1500x2000 drawing and I keep having to zoom in up to 282% because of details and stroke perfection paranoia.
>make the file bigger
The file is actually 7680x4320, probably the biggest I've ever gone, but the resolution mentioned earlier is the size of the human character standing.

I drew these feet at 200% zoom, for reference.
And that's considering my line is way thicker, should I go thinner it'd be even worse to deal with tiny imperfections.

Well stop that and stay zoomed out to the point that you're looking at the entire figure. If you're unable to do that, then it doesn't really matter what advice we give, because ultimately you'll fall back into your bad habbits.

Alternatively, another option is just to accept you're anal about your lines and change how you draw; Have you ever tried vector art Anon? It's a very clinical way of drawing, but you'll have perfect lines; you can sketch, bring the sketch into a vector program, do your lines in the vector program as well as your flat colours, and bring it back into your primary drawing program for shading and adjustments.

You can also just do your lines with the pen tool (photoshop), same thing really.

Anyone else zoom so much you are essentially doing pixel art for your lines?

you have problems with self-esteem, overcoming by making speedy playful sketches and giggling on it, but esteem should be fixed

Vector drawing sucks, I would become 10 times more OCD if I tried to use it.

I do draw speedily, but in my mind that's a sketch, not a finished piece.
Maybe I should face all my drawings as sketches and see what happens.

>>6237709
Sometimes I make adjustments on the scale of pixels, especially if I'm drawing something thin like a cable and the tapering is wrong. It becomes a shave/re-add process until it looks fine.

I gave up on trying to make my lines perfect. And you know it's not that bad.

It's a matter of color and lighting. Imagine if this image was only lineart, it would look bad

If you're going for monochrome line weight becomes very important.

I personally quite like it, but it's very different from "drawing" art. It's sorta like pixel art, but instead of fussing over jaggies, you're fussing over how smooth and simple your lines are. I'm just saying if you're going to be OCD about it, you might as well do it in a way where drawing that way benefits from being fussy.

i drop a lot of pieces because i get sick of doing line art and burning out.

Trannime artists are mentally ill

subhuman loli shitter, kill yourself. you will never be an artist + ai will soon replace scum like you!

you have to let go and stop worrying about perfect lines. Its hard but your problem is you're thinking and calculating while you draw. Those are the two worst things to be doing. There should be NONE of that shit, you should be scribbling and have it look great because you're in the flow state. I try to never zoom in when I draw but you'll always notice your mistakes if you're neurotic (which if you're on 4chan you are).

I can achieve that mentality just fine when sketching the underdrawing, but, when linearting, the task is to disambiguate the drawing, to settle once and for all how things actually look like.
Maybe that's where the analness comes from.

see there you go thinking again. that's not what the task of lineart is. there is no task, theres no goal in art. stop thinking about rules and procedures.

You can defiently see that most of the line work is almost chickens scratch but when looking at the overall image it looks fine.

So, it's just good composition?
