Mangz, lineart is super easy. Idk how you guys can color Q-Q
But for my Sai makes linearting super ezpz. It has a nice stabilizer so your lines are smoother when you freehand your lines. It also has a lineart tool, but I only use that if I can drawing weapons with straight edges or something that needs to be a perfect circle.

I have some tips on clean lineart if you're interested.
1.- The closest your sketch can look like the final product, the better. Specially if you're starting as an artist.
2.- Confidence in every stroke; if you don't like how the line looks, there's always ctrl + z, so don't be afraid. The looser your hand is, the more chances your line will be dynamic and you won't have to draw over it to achieve this dynamism "artificially" (which is usually done by retracing the line, leaving room for error and resulting in lineart that looks a bit dirty (fuzzy/furry lines, mostly).
3.- CSP's vector erase tool will save you a lot of time, but it's not mandatory. It is aware of what you want to erase, so it'll completely get rid of leftover material that you could miss or mistake for part of the sketch. It also has a function to edit line width, so you don't have to redo a line if it's width isn't dynamic enough or it doesn't satisfy you. (I don't use it, but it's there and I can see some people applying it, specially for shadows of areas where things overlap)
4.- Lower the opacity as you go, the sketch might deceive you a bit.
5.- Patience. Both in short term (your current work) and long term (acknowledging that you won't improve right away, but rather, it takes time. Don't be discouraged if you're seeking to improve and you don't do it in your first, tenth or hundredth try).
6.-Practice: The tip you've never heard before. ┐(ツ)┌ . It cannot be stressed enough, tho. The longer it is ignored, the longer we take to learn.
These are tips that work for me. They could not work for everyone and that's ok, since different artists have different methods so take them with a grain of salt if they're not compatible with you.

don't forget to take breaks in between linearts/ coloring XD it helps you see mistakes every other breaks
my wrist is starting to fail me. so please don't forget to do wrist exercises twice daily to avoid carpal tunnel ;u; (like me? idk yet)

too late for me, I have carpal tunnel already heh @_@ but yes take breaks! step away from art and come back to it, it helps you notice things that you need to do or if you need fix something.

My wife uses compression gloves for her arthritis. She likes them, but I'm not sure if they actually inhibit joint damage or merely mask the symptoms. It's something else to look into.

Uhhh, here's my WIP. I decided to make this for fun, and for my own personal use. It was just something to do while learning. The engine is 100% done, just need to finish some modes.
