Sometimes, I'll carve too much and end up redrawing them. This can go back and forth this way until I am either happy with the line or so frustrated that I just let it go. (I honestly think I started doing this when I read a short interview book on Giacometti.)<br /><br />But whenever I need a really clean line, I'll use a vector tool- the digital equivalent of using a straight edge or a French curve. I'll just take the straight vector line and warp and distort it until it approaches the kind of shape I am after, then erase the areas that don't make sense. Sometimes, it makes sense to redraw these lines by hand to avoid a mechanical look.R.

When I don't have some sort of plan in place, or the details were fuzzy that's usually when the art goes off the rails. <br />I do envy those who can just draw a stick figure and then come in and work up a full figure from that.Jeff Hotchkisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06320839341478755750noreply@blogger.com
