I have a bunch of technical questions for artists. I'm watching all the tutorials I can to soak up more technique, but it'd be helpful to get it straight from the horse's mouth.
I'm trying to make art like the AI stuff in my gallery. I'm getting better with proportions, but I can't seem to figure out replicating the line style. Should be drawing a sketch and then lineart overtop? Or, should I go just sketch and then progressively clean and refine that sketch in a single long pass? Should I be making multiple short strokes, or long confident strokes? Should I be doing multiple long strokes with minimal opacity? What brushes should I be using (procreate)? I'm super lost.
Beyond this, some general questions.
What do you do to make different species look different, if anything? I realize there's a certain appeal to a standardized shape - humans have standard shapes and so defaulting to a generic canine-ish shape with different ears and markings is a reasonable solution I'm sure, if that's what you're after.
I won't ask "how do I color and shade properly" because I know it's a matter of taste and practice. What I want to know is how should I be thinking about the process?
Any other tips you can give a beginner?
