Welcome to Gaia! ::

What program are you using? Gimp? Photoshop? If you have a mouse and one of these two programs, you could do some decent lineart using the Pen tool (or the Pen tool equivalent on Gimp). It just takes quite a bit of time.

If you're using pencil and paper, I personally say stick with that instead. Work with what you got. There are a few ways of getting some better lineart just using a pencil, here's my suggestions:

- Draw smaller. Instead of taking up the entire page, only use half of it.
- Use a slightly softer pencil, like HB or 2B. Sharpen it well and practice this on a separate piece of paper. Just doodle random scribbly lines, but change how hard you press against the paper with your pencil. You'll notice that your lines actually get thinner and thicker depending on how hard you press. Apply this to your art.
- Vary your lines with your own set of rules. I personally thicken my lines around corners or more acute angles, and make it thin on straight or very slightly curving lines. Some people do the opposite of what I do.
- Another way you can vary your lines: OUTLINE your lines using a thin, sharp pencil. Shade everything in the middle.
