Hello!
So, I always see amazing artwork done with photoshop, and I noticed that the lines aren't broken, like mine: User Image
take for example, this drawing:
User Image
see the difference?
I was wondering if there's a tool on photoshop that "corrects" broken lines, or if it's something you acquire with time.
sorry... it's a little hard to explain. . . redface

Do you use a WACOM tablet? or draw on paper and then scan?
It's best you use the PEN tool, in adobe photoshop. You can close up the broken lines, and get much more crisp, dark, and even varied brush strokes! You can also add an adjustment layer of 'levels' on your black and white version of the drawing, it darkens the lines, close up with brush strokes using your mouse (or wacom). Illustrator is the best software for drawings, i'd say. Love your drawing, btw.

Try making your graphic in Photoshop then going over your design in adobe illustrator to give it a more professional look. Also it depends on if you are using an actual drawing tablet or not. Pretty much what blacvamp said.
