    Hey there, seen a lot of bland fucking pieces lately, so heres one way to give your shitty outline some spice.

    Also, if you have have issues with crisping up your outlines, this might help as well.

    Start with a nice pencil sketch. Heres a basic ass "B"

    Ink that bitch up. But don't forget to erase those pesky pencil lines.

    Well, now that you did a solid OK job of erasing the pencil, youre one step closer to not looking toy as fuck. But, notice how shaky and bland those lines are? Instant L in getting that tasty internet fame, nobody wants to see that shit.

    Whats going on here? Adding a second outline next to the first? Fuck yea we are. If you need to clean up your lines by going over them slowly 4000 times with that 05 Micron, your piece will look scuffed as fuck with a couple lines 10x thicker then the rest.

    Easy ass fix, make ALL your lines thicc. Now you've not only created dynamic and interesting flow with some bolder strokes, itll also give you a chance to clean some of your shit up.


    Obviously the alternative is to just slow the fuck down and take your time with outlining, but for all the newbies out there, i'd suggest taking a stab at this so your blackbook pieces don't look fucked.
