# I always think the end one would be nicer without the lineart, have you got that version, just to prove me wrong?

# Because I painted under the line art
it's actually very scruffy. I've been meaning to revisit it and complete it as a painting without the line but I've not gotten around to it. It would not take much though.
Because it's painted in an industry standard comic book 'cell shading' method the line art actually covers all the separated areas of painting and they don't meet up. Hang on, I'll show you what I mean.

I left the shoulder out so you get the idea of how I work in 'blocks' or 'flats'.
You can see elsewhere that the blocks are not finished where they meet because the intentional comic book style allows for the line art to cover these areas. If I had intended a painting from the start I would never have inked the sketch and just used it as a guide to paint over but I agree with you that it will look nice without the line art.
I was very pleased with this and I think it deserves the extra work. When I can be arsed.
