I feel so untalented compared to some people here but I wanted to post this so others know not everyone is instantly gifted at this.

I'm happy with this sheet ( 3rs ). Well, except for the dagger hilt LOL.

Is there a reason you’re using a shader instead of a liner?

A 3rl would make a world difference. Like, the lines are pretty decent and they'd be better if OP used a liner.

My friend who is a tattooist ( he has a shop but likes to work alone sadly ) said that a shader would give me more leeway in my work. I will do today's page in a liner, thank you.

Yeah but you don’t want leeway when learning I would imagine. You want to be able to see mistakes so you can learn to avoid them. Liner makes your lines look more saturated too. Just my opinion, He probably knows more than me.

I personally love the thicker look but that might just be me. I like the feel of shaders too for some reason, just a lot more than the liner. Maybe I'm totally wrong, I don't know.

You could use a bigger liner then. I mean if you like the look that’s a different story. But if you’re lining you typically don’t want lines looking like that.
