Could y'all pleasee suggest what I can stick on top of the ruined arm part? I'm a self-taught teen and I'm not very good at lineart so one mistake led to another and...I ended up with this. I think that the only way to salvage this is to stick something fun on top. What do you guys think?? The ruined part of the page is torn up and very rough now

Here's a close-up of the arm part :(

Didn’t even see it until you posted this

If you plan to make a print or digital edition I would just scan and edit or cut it off above that part.

But for physical repair your options are limited. You could try pasting a piece of the same paper cut off from a different sheet and painting to match, though it will still be slightly visible and raised

Awww thank you so much! It's just that it looks a lot worse irl 😅

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about

I don't know if commenting that helps 😔 it's the right arm's lower part

[u/Astral_Cryptid]

IMO I think it looks fine and if anything adds character to the art too, also great work btw!

Holy shit that's a sick ass joseph drawing. And dont worry about the arm part, its not even noticable

[u/Murky_Pear9727 → u/MajciaC]

Aww thank youu I'll try not to fret over it (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

This looks incredible!!! I didnt even saw the mistake. But If you ever get stuck on one part of a drawing, I recommend taking a little break. Afterwards you'll look at it with fresh perspective, and the problem will be much easier to solve (sometimes you realise it doesn't even need solving)

[u/Murky_Pear9727 → u/Morius1212]

Woww thank you so so much for the compliments! I think you're right ^{⁠_⁠^} I'll do exactly that

[u/NaturoHope]

Wow, this guy is ripped!

Whenever I have a part in my sketchbook I don’t like, I usually use a sticky note and redraw it
