# May I ask you if you hand draw and colour
or do you use a Graphics Tablet if the latter do you have any tips of getting nice lines like yours?

# This one is hand drawn, inked and watercoloured
I never got the knack of drawing with my (admittedly cheap, shitty) tablet, I always get a scroteload of tremble in my lines. I use an ultrafineliner and build up the lines more as I go along.

# I know what you mean getting the lines just right is a talent on it's own.

# I am stealing the phrase 'scroteload of tremble' and passing it off as my own in future conversations.
So sorry about that.

# after you have finished your line art
pop it into illustrator, run a quick 'live trace' and it's all good :)
otherwise you have to do it all by hand with specific custom brushes and hand draw over your sketches with the pen tool.
