My samples for Rocky Mountain Fur Con sketchbook commissions! There are three tiers available, the last one (watercolor) will only be available if the paper in your sketchbook can handle the paint. I don't want to ruin anyone's sketchbook. ^^; I can also do them on a separate sheet of bristol board if you have no sketchbook.
I will be taking these commissions at RMFC!

As the tutorial shows, drawing the same line a few times is actually necessary to get smooth likes, but yeah, it's definitely in the wrist. This tutorial is pretty helpful I think. It basically details the same sort of technique I use for my own lineart, and people tell me a lot how nice and smooth mine is, so I'd say from experience that it works pretty well!
If you have Photoshop, or want to give it a try, this is my secret weapon: http://lazynezumi.com
And even if you don't use Photoshop, I tend to make my canvas at least 2500 pixels to a side, and use a 10-15px brush. I've found that combination ideal for getting good detail. Even if it's still a little shaky and you have to go over some areas more than once to get the thickness you want, it'll look very crisp when you shrink it down! A lot of the process is just about taking your time and being as precise with your lines as possible.

Well, all it does is give Photoshop the same line smoothing feature SAI has but with more fine-tuning options and the ability to adjust how pressure sensitivity input is handled. Your wrist is still doing all the work, it's just more likely that you'll get a clean line on the first try, so there's less need to attempt a line over and over to correct small deviations. It just makes it less frustrating and time consuming and gives you more control than your basic tablet driver has to offer! Anyway, I don't want to spam this submission any further with off-topic stuff but feel free to note me if you want more information.
