Is that digital or manual drawing? If so, then that is incredible. I have a hard time making straight lines digitally, thus making my drawing's outline appear more squiggly. If you are an author, you might as well draw an illustration of your novel to challenge you. It's just a suggestion.

If you are having difficulty with straight lines using a pen tab, you can draw one by multiple short strokes and clean the extra lines afterwards.

Or multiple strokes, then use another layer to draw over the previous lines. Most of the time, it's the issue of drawing without a guide that makes it difficult to draw 'clean' straight lines.

Also, it takes time and practice, but consistency will help you.

thank you for your suggestions, I'll keep them in mind.
as well as in terms of squiggly lines in drawings, it's true, drawing straight lines are not easy. Pen stabilizer may be an option, but I find that making faster strokes lead to smoother lines for digital drawings instead.
there's also the method of drawing an image on paper, then taking a photo of the drawing, turning the exposure all the way up so that the paper turns white, making it appear digital.
but, whatever you like to do is best. Besides, wiggly jittery lines may look great sometimes, there are many artists who intentionally draw with shaky lineart and it'll be their signature look.

ps. it's digital drawing

I just scan mine, straight from the paper and into the coloring palette, though the photo-camera technique is also plausible, provided the artist has 'steady' hands.

About transferring traditional art to digital, how do you make the lineart work with digital colouring? Is it that you draw above the digitalized lineart with translucent layers of colour or is there some way to make the lineart into it's own layer?

I was was doing the scanning technique once, and I found it difficult to colour just light enough so that the base layer of lineart could still be seen. It was a challenge using dark colours as well; because they tend to blend in more with black lines.

thank you, and yep! I'm addicted, Genshin's art is mind-blowingly good, its music, sound design, alll of it is so immersive and great for people who wish to escape from reality

I use Photoshop, and thru it, I make the artwork 'transparent' (default white background disappears) via layers without the need to 'retrace'/'redraw' the image. So yes, there is a way to turn the lineart into a layer.

Also, Multiply blend mode can make anything 'pass thru' the colors and/or lines.

And don't forget to scan the image on high resolution.
