any tips on doing lineart?

[10 hour 10 minute]

i tend to sketch with thick lines, around a 15px brush and when i want to start lining it i usually try to size it down to a 9px-10px and it always comes out really weird. :/ i've been trying to do really fast motions so it looks crisp and it does, it's just that the lineart as a whole looks wonky......

does anyone have any tips on how to do this? should i just start sketching with a 9px brush and line with it too, or is it just a problem with how i do it? :') if anyone can link me things to help or give me some words of advice that'd be great!! <3

I find it's easier to work on a really large resolution and scale it down when it's done, hides some of the smaller mistakes. For example, starting with the canvas as 3000x3000, then scaling the image by 50% so at the end it's 1500x1500.
There's a lot more to lineart than brush thickness (like line weight) but I don't know any material/tutorials off hand.

The two most common tips I read are to work at a large size then scale it down, and also zoom in to 200% or larger when drawing the line work.

If you have photoshop you can do vectors. That smooths it out.

yeah I think the problem is sketching with a brush larger than what you're lining with. I used to do this and the proportions end up looking a bit off.
