Very old (and not 100% resolved) debate.

In short, the reason is because it just doesn't cast a very good impression of you. You CAN use various tricks to reduce the presence of the lines or filter them out (example), but all in all, the best solution is to grab yourself some sheets of plain paper (PC printer paper works just fine Wink

) and draw/start drawing on that.

[quote=""Lasher's Rant""]1) Half the lined drawings are the doodles kids do in their math class while bored.

2) The lines distract the viewers attention from the actually drawing itself.

3) Makes it harder to notice the finer details of a drawing, in the few that are actually drawn well, and with detail.

4) Can make it difficult to notice the distrotion (i hope i spelled that right) or change in size of the drawing unless the drawing itself is just plain flat and up front.

5) It's plain lazy.

6) It makes it look like the artist doesn't really put that much effort into it, whether it's good skill or not, if it's just left on lined paper.

7) Makes one think that artist doesn't care to much about how their art looks with the lines going through it, behind it, etc etc.

8) It's not freakin brain surgery to simply take the drawing on the lined paper, put it behind/under a PLAIN sheet of paper, and transfer the drawing.

9) THAT *points to number 8* is NOT stealing art, you drew (unless you really didn't but why in the world someone would steal a drawing on line paper is beyond me) your just transfering it to a plain piece of paper, so it looks better, clearer, more crisp and easier to look at for the viewer. And if you have detail, it makes it A LOT easier to notice it, or any pros or cons of the pics (yes, we all have our cons, no ones perfect, but i also said PROS)[/quote]

Strata there was also a method to get them out.... You posted it right?
It had something to do with taking out the blue channel (using photoshop) of the drawing or something like that?
Maybe you could post it here so that this guy/girl can post his/her work...

Yeah, but in retrospect, I don't recommend it.
