Unpopular opinion: zooming to 400% to check your lineart is ruining your art
I used to spend an hour nudging pixels at 800% zoom on a single 8x10 canvas until a friend looked at my screen and asked why I was drawing for ants. Last month I did a piece for a local zine in Austin and forced myself to stay at 100% zoom the whole time, and it took me 2 hours instead of 6. The wobble I was chasing at 400% is literally invisible when the piece is printed or viewed on a phone. Now I only zoom in to fix an actual gap in a fill, then I zoom right back out. Curious if anyone else here switched to working zoomed out and never went back?

Man, my buddy did the same thing and his art got way better fast.
