• don’t shade colors with black
• don’t overuse the airbrush tool, especially when it comes to shading
• layers have different settings, explore them!
• if your lines are wiggly when you draw, check your brush stability settings
• if you find your lineart is looking too stiff/not like your sketch, try cleaning up the sketch instead of lining it. it helps keep fluidity and the feel of your original drawing
• crop your pictures, don’t leave a ton of empty space unless you add some kind of background
• make sure your canvas is set to at least 300dpi 
• draw on a large canvas ( i draw on a 3000x3000px canvas) it will be easier to line your work and everything will look much smoother even if you shrink it down
• .jpeg files save space, but this file type may compress your art and sacrifice quality. when I post art I always use .png
