genuinely i would kill to be a line artist yall have no idea
#i could happily line other peoples pencils forever#i would do it all day everyday lmao#like again the pay is bad line artists don't make much money#and the deadlines can be absolutely horrible#but like idk my brain turns off when i do line art and a lot of pencilers do have pretty clear sketches (at least until they know the line#artist in question and you get like a working relationship and everything) so it's really just#such a smooth brain off activity like to work in my house#doing line art on art that is not mine for several hours at (mostly) my own pace would be divine#fab talks#fabtalks#too bad line art as it's own independent job is dying#i was talking about this with one of my gfs professors and im like so mad about it im so mad about it#like honestly i think a lot of publishers like after this round of line artists die off are just going to have the pencilers do#pencils and lines nad if they can get away with it color#like colorists i think have more job security in this situation then line artists i see them kept on more in indie circles and stuff#though really they've been crushing all comic jobs together which i think is bad like to put all that work on one or two people in that tur#around time without an increase in pay sucks so bad like pay has not gone up for comic artists at all but so many of them are doing at leas#two jobs if not the entire art side of the comic by themselves on the salary of one guy#i can't rehiterate enough for people who don't know shit about comics back in the day EVERYTHING was it's own job#the colors the lines the pencils the lettering those were 4 separate jobs it was weird when it was not 4 separate jobs#to have your artist doing even two of those jobs is like A LOT to put on them in the turn around required for print especially without a#pay increase#anyway i'd kill to be a line artist i really would lmao for a lot of publishers it was an entry level job like one of my professors was a#marvel line artist briefly but like idk i'd kill to just do that forever asdfghjkl#i think about this a lot#anyway this is why indie comic people doing webcomics can't fucking make them as fast as marvel or dc it's one person doing everything#while trying to make ends meet its REALLY HARD TO DO#this is why alice's publishing schedule is at best ONE ISSUE A YEAR
