[from an email] What brush tool do you use to get your lines so clean?
I googled your comic (HAH YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE BEING SNEAKY BY NOT INCLUDING A LINK) and from what I can tell, you’re drawing it at the same size and resolution it’s being published at! This is a big part of why your lines look all funky. You should be drawing at print resolution- that is, 300dpi or higher- and...

Since everyone is doing this, I’ll join the party. I’m not sure how many of you know/care enough about any of my characters to ask anything, but let’s see what happens!
