Sakura Cute Lineart

I just finished this last night. Yes, it is Sakura from Naruto. This is lineart created from my sketch [Link], NOT from tracing a screenshot.

I played with a few methods used to create lineart that I got from some of the awesome tutorials here on dA.

I used paths with "simulated pressure" to create the majority of the smooth lines. I'm not really happy with how they turned out. I was able to get them to be slightly dynamic without disappearing at the ends, but I still don't like them.

I used shapes to create the eyes and mouth. After an hour of trial and error, I learned how to work the point to create the lines I wanted. I am amazed how these lines turned out. However, I'm worried that this method will be nearly impossible to work with on long thin lines (like in the hair).

Lastly, I played with the brush options to create my sig in the corner. I got the brush to fade when following a path. This may work better than the simulated pressure, but will require a lot of planning and more trial & error to get the lines I want. I may be worth the time, but I think I'll practice with shapes first.

Speaking of practice, does anybody have a preference on the next sketch of mine I transform into lineart? Check out my gallery [Link] for the other sketches.

Oh yea, I don't mind if you want to color this lineart. However, I would like credit and for you to shoot me a message so I can link to your version. You can move or change my signature, just as long as it's visible.

I plan on using this as coloring practice, once I have found a suitable method to create lineart the way I want.

I do not own the character, she belongs to Masashi Kishimoto.

Wow, I had more to say than I thought.
