I don't know which artist needs to hear this, but if you don't like your lineart...if you find that the lineart stage does not add any value to your artwork...then you do not need to do lineart. your artwork is still complete if you go straight from sketch to colours. as long as you think it's complete.
studio ghibli movies are like if someone took all of your fondest, softest childhood dreams and put them into a film
this may just be me going into overanalysis mode but i feel like the choreography of spellcasting can tell you so much about a magic user. a snap of the fingers, for example, implies confidence, even arrogance, while hands thrust out and straining to the fingertips suggests desperation, throwing one's whole body into the spell as though hoping the physical effort will make a difference. rapid, jerky body language tells you that a spellcaster is passionate and reckless, while graceful, fluid movements demonstrate calm and concentration. some magic users may choose to stomp their feet or clap their hands when casting, channeling power through percussive motion, whilst others may see magic as a tool separate from the self, and focus it through objects like a wand or staff. a new spellcaster just coming into their power may be tentative and slow, but a practiced study of magic will be able to rely on muscle memory to guide them.

So if every time they stopped to swap out a board on the ship of theseus, theseus went ahead and ate the old one, 1) did he Eat A Ship by consuming it's constituent parts and 2) if so, is the ship he ate more or less of the same ship they set sail with than the ship they finished sailing with? If you had ship of theseus crust pants that were created via your friend taking a big bite out of your pants occasionally and then you had to patch it until the original fabric was all gone, are your pants you wear and the pair of pants your friend ate the Same Pants ?
that didn't happen you're making that up
i'm so sorry, i walked marginally more than a mile in your shoes. my understanding of you has subsumed my own consciousness, i am you to a greater extent than you ever were, and you are merely a simulacrum to the true you, which is me.
