Do you guys prefer to do line art for your drawings and then color them in or do you not
Some of my drawings look better with line art I think and some of them look worse, I went through a period of time when I didn't do line art at all (My pen ran out of ink and I couldn't get a new one at the time) I felt like my people needed line art but that my pegasi looked better without it.
What are your thoughts?

I'm not skilled enough with shading + highlights so I usually outline all my work in a black pen. Also, I use like a circle-line method, so it helps with that too so them I can erase the construction lines. But you do you!
Just draw the way you like it best! Like me, I get some help from one of my how to draw horses books and copy it on paper with pencil and add wings, then I erase the pencil little by little replacing with colored pencil until I'm finished. Then I get some help with the internet for a background. Everyone has their own style when it comes to art.
Happy drawing!
I agree with Dragon. I personally don't use line art for my drawings anymore, just because I find it's more realistic, and I know how to define the drawing simply with shading and highlights, but do whatever you think is best for your art.
Yeah, what Dragon said! I mostly use line art for all my drawings, but when I draw traditionally you usually can't really see it, because I do it lightly.
I'd say, you know you're art best, and if you're happy (and comfortable) with drawing pegasi without line art, then 100% go for it!
