Hi!
The main activity of my actual days, is drawing, drawing and drawing.
I'm making a lot of exercises drawing manikkine but today, watching my works, i saw that i don't have a regular line and i need ALWAYS to sign a lot of line and dirty each sheet.
How can i improve my line?
That's a question which i wonder to me so long time ago!!!! :/
Thanks!

show some of the designs
... perhaps we can then say what?!
"Showing some sketches ...maybe we can say something about this"
Ok, let me find them on my computer and upload them

Here we are!
These are 3 completed sketches.
Take a look to the manikkins: that's my construction line now; it's not clean, soft and fluent.

the thigh bone is very well drawn ... but the strokes a bit dirty / restless
the ear is very good, crosshatching = different standards or different pencil strokes darker
in the stick figure's proportions are in my opinion, very well
now trying to convert the strokes in the bones and give them finally the muscles
all in all I think the three sketches are very good
Go to this link: http://www.fineart.sk/
because there are still links to a very good anatomy lessons

Ok, but the matter is the strokes itself.
In the manikkins, it's not so clear, and fluent, in my opinion.

they are not clean, soft and fluent too
why?
they only are static framework as reflections / thoughts for a final product

This is what i mean for clean, soft and fluent:
I know this sketches are a final product, but you can image the construction lines: she/he has a fluent, plastic and thorough strokes.
These sketches are tidy and natural in the same time.
Do you know what i would mean?
My strokes are raw comapred with these sketeches, but in the same time, you can see that i can draw well so i wonder how can i improve my strokes (construction lines too!).

sorry, but in my opinion your strokes are good enough for sketches to practice 
too critical with yourself being blocked and frustrated too
draw with more fun and joy, then comes the lightness in your strokes and everything else that you want to do your drawings automatically

To understand the use of line to develop your line work.Tthis is a fairly complicated subject. Each line or mark or stroke as you put it has emotional content, try to understand what the line conveys in its treatment, i.e. Aggressive, fluent ,flowing mysterious etc. for example spend time drawing a mysterious line, draw an aggressive line and so forth,
Translate this treatment into your work and you will improve your line quality…I hope this helps
Regards Wayne
This is a great suggestion
I will try out this!
Are there some lessons or tutorial about this?
It will be very helpful :/

I don't know if I really understand your question but I remember a real awakening I had one time when I was watching a video on portrait painting. I can't remeber the artist who said it, wish I could, but the instructor in the video said, "The real world does not have a line around it." He went on to explain that we get this idea form coloring books and comics as kids that everything has to be in a border type line that's not in the real world.
This is just my two cents, take it for what you want. Your ear looks good. But I can see a heavy line around the edge of it, that's just not needed. The dark shadows and light will the define the ear without the use of lines. Of course it's just a matter of style, it looks good the way you have it. If your happy with it it's fine.

Maybe tracing a line over n over may be particularly useful in this instance - hence a heated debate which was on here recently lol.
