Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dude, I don't think your understanding of anatomy is far off! You seem to have it basically figured out, especially for the style you're using; from here you can only keep improving, right? If you're not already doing so I suggest making sure your figure's laid out in form and everything before you add clothes, but if you're already doing that then keep at it, I guess! Haha! 4laugh Always be studying! It's a good thing to do anyway.

Having started to do some completely digital work must be a big but nice change. Personally I like how easy it is to change digital work, whether you're moving something around or erasing something... or if you want to try multiple versions of the same thing... there are a lot of possibilities that just aren't available or as easily done when you're doing purely traditional work. I don't know if I could use the kind of tablet you say you're using, though...! I used to have a laptop whose screen you could turn around and use like a tablet, but it was always just a little off, no matter how much calibration I did. With this regular ol' Wacom, I guess I've used it enough that there's no disconnect for me. It works out pretty well.

If you want to try making thinner lines but want to keep using this brush size for darkness, why don't you try making the image kind of big, "inking" it cleanly, and then shrinking the whole thing down so the lines are thinner? Depending on the program your using the clarity and everything should be left intact, right...? I'm really just guessing, here, but it might be worth a try. whee
