I’m completely new to digital art and completed the flat color fill for my illustration. I’m not really sure how to shade and looking at some videos kinda just gets me more confused. I’m starting in the simple mode compared to studio mode in CSP. Any suggestions on where to start? I don’t have the pic as a reference on me but I can post it later for some help
Before I get started id like to do a short intro!
Im 14
I have a disability that makes it exhausting to do precise lines (but trust me i can get better:D)
I am starting from below rock bottom, but im also very ambitious so i might (i will) bite more than I can chew
I quit super easily without fast results which makes it worse (to fix this pls give me simple things to draw or practice!
Im picking whether to get to digital or traditional pencil art (tips for both please!
Anyway here’s things i need help with!
Line art, I don’t want my drawings looking like a 5 year old drew them even with perfect lines
Shading! I can imagine lighting and stuff but how do i make my shading look pretty?
How do digital brushes work? How many layers should i use?
When drawing characters, where should you start?
Can artstyles be applied to ANY drawing? Like i wanna make a jelly artstyle beanie for example, will it work?
Are there any places i can learn drawing? After school, workshops, ateliers.. etc
I am debating whether to go all in on this art thing (getting supplies or resources isn’t hard at all but I don’t wanna waste money yk
I will start uploading my art progress to hold myself accountable for not trying hard enough or quitting…
Give me simple things to draw! (Tysm for reading all this lol)
Hope this is allowed, wanted to share an artist tool I find super helpful! There's a reference library, 3D lighting model, practice sessions, etc. Definitely worth a look! Wanted to share for anyone looking for new helpful tools (:
As title suggests, I am an artist that mostly uses and is most comfortable with pencil and paper. I have tried digital before on GIMP but drawing with a mouse was very difficult and the $30 drawing tablet I had was even more difficult and uncomfortable to use. I'm currently looking at other tablets, screenless or screen, to find which is the most comfortable for a physical artist like me to use. Looking online and reddit, most people recommend an ipad Pro and procreate but do not specify further on why. I briefly tried an Intuos basic and Movink pad for display at a Wacom store and both felt a little comfortable for me despite not knowing how to navigate the art programs. In short, does anyone have any recommendations for a physical artist trying to convert to digital art and if so, the reasoning behind your recommendations?
Okay hear me out. I’ll try to explain the best way possible and I’m a noob so I’m still learning. I want to create my character with sketch then with pen and color afterwards but I’m having a hard time with the layering. It’s kinda confusing me on what to hide and then when I trace over it just doesn’t look right so I’m confused myself. Is there a tutorial that can do the draw step by step so I can understand the tooling better? Sorry if it’s confusing 🫤
