Pro tip: zoom to 100% before you judge your own line work

I've been posting my character sketches here for about 8 months, and I kept seeing people complain that their digital inking looks shaky or messy when they finish. For the longest time I thought it was just my tablet pressure settings or my hand being tired after a long day at school. Then last Tuesday I was working on a portrait for a friend's birthday and I zoomed out to check the whole piece, and I realized the issue. Everyone keeps looking at the full canvas view where tiny wobbles become invisible, then exporting at a smaller size for the forum. But the moment you zoom to 100% and stare at the actual pixel edges, you see the truth. That's where the line quality matters, especially if you're printing or doing a show with a projector. Has anyone else had that moment where they fixed a piece just by zooming in and redoing one stroke at a time?
