Hello Everybody! I hope you are having a great day (and that I am writing my quastion in a good place)
I am producing my short, and I am looking for some ways for making my life easier

I am geting to the texturing stage, I am going for an hand drawn/graphite illustration. Here is a final render of a character:
To get such an effect I am starting with a clean lineart and creating masks as here:
And then I am adding textures, shadows and pencil lineart. All by hand, which I find quite charming but not neccarily effective (and for sure time-consuming). I am wondering about ways of saving some work. I thought about reusing clean lineart from cleanup stage and transform it into pencile-like lineart. After a while playing with different effects I got to this:

But the line is containing white as well:

I feel like it is a stupid problem but I couldn't find a way to get just a black colour with an aplha insead of black with white parts. Here is what's I used:

So... my question is how to get off of the whites in the line? At the stage of creating a line. (not by blending mode of the layer)
And if by any chance somebody has a thought how to make some part of my texturing process easier I would love to hear your ideas!
Thanks for reading this post and for any advices
