Well I dont believe you master line work in a few weeks, sure. But the difference is much more subtle than comparing my anatomical knowledge to someone whos practiced it for 10 years. Yet we both can draw a straight line. And a surgeon knows what a face looks like but he has no concept of perspective. I think you might be surprised at how well a surgeon would draw a face actually since they have to practice very precise hand movements in order to preform surgery and not kill people.
"I know a painter with like 40 years of experience and you should see his lines:) He could draw a scribble, some amoeba-like shape and we would all stare in wonder at the craftmanship of that amoeba scribble. He wouldn't have to draw a muscled human in perspective or a beautiful tree."
And what you're talking about is not that this person has greater control over his lines but that he has a stronger sense of design. This can also apply to Ursula's line work. Shes Designing her lines better is the difference. She conceptualizes the line before making it and more thought goes into it. It even seems automatic to a person but its still a mental practice.
