wehhh thank you!! idk how long it took me to get "good" because I'm always trying to improve, but I've been making lineart-centric art professionally for like... 11 years, if that gives an idea.

as for brushes, I like to change mine up every so often depending on the vibe of the piece I'm working on. I've been using Procreate for the past couple years, so it's a mix of default brushes and this one custom inking brushpack that I found for free off gumroad I think. for example I switch between Procreate's technical pen and studio pen for smooth lines, and then from the GvW Ink pack I use Elder P4 for thicker textured lines (think like a calligraphy brush) or the Pentaliner Ink 2.1 for more pencil-like lines.
