... Does anybody have any tips on what to do to keep the black background from being liney?

Yeah, that would work. I was wanting to find a way to make it look less liney in real life too though. I think maybe charcoal or something might work? haha I have no idea. Thanks for the help though :)

My advice on this is to not just shade up and down cause that looks like what you did. Go back and forth as well as up and down. I don't know what you used, but I use charcoal. Smudge the opposite way you shaded. Like if you go up and down smudge side to side, and vice versa. I don't know if that helps you any, but that's my advice!

Thanks for the help! :hug: It still gets liney no matter which direction I shade it. I do it straight up and down so the lines are too crazy and chaotic in the blackness. I might try smudging them, though I'm not sure how well that'd work. I think charcoal is probably my best bet. What is the best kind of charcoal for doing the dark blacks? Is it the same hard/soft scale as graphite?

I can't say I know anything about graphite or that I really know too much about charcoal. Sorry.

Wow... it is just awesome... :worship:

As for the lines I have that problem... bout the only thing I've found that helps a little is smudging it a bit but still that doesn't always get rid of them. Other than that a slight adjustment to contrast/brightness in photoshop helps quite alot. I always find that with that much black it doesn't scan to well either.. it can be annoying
