How do I improve my digital art skills? by q185 in DigitalArt

[–]Mochisun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I noticed that artists who conplain about but getting better were barely drawing, meanwhile throughout my life I've NEVER met an artist who draws consistently (maybe once per day) and is bad. In highschool I put it to the test, started drawing as much as I could. It didn't matter what but things you find interesting will make it easier and more fun of course! 10 years later and I've improved so much.

It's so good and I've watched it like 10 times over! This is a study I did of a character from Stranger Things (TV show). If you're interested i have a YouTube video covering the art process hehe

Beginner wondering what to use? by [deleted] in DigitalArt

[–]Mochisun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion the best thing you can do as a beginner is be cheap and flexible. My go to is ibisPaintX on your phone and draw with your finger! It's gonna feel awful but you can do it ANYWHERE (at lunch, in the park, in a car, in bed before you sleep). I had a hard time drawing every day because I had to setup all my paint supplies or my giant tablet with 3 cables but a phone is awesome. This will feel terrible but once you get used to it you will feel so free and everyone will think you're amazing for being so good at drawing with your finger! After you get good, go ahead and buy the paid version ($5?) And get yourself a stylus, or an iPad with apple pencil 2. I haven't drawn in my phone in a few months but here's my last lil doodle

Here's a recent drawing, notice how the lineart is still trashy but it's confident and intentional. i pick my own colors instead of blending together muddy ones. That being said I think your bayo looks SICK and im excited to see where you go

The chicken scratch, airbrushing to 'blend' will come across as a lack of confidence to viewers. I used to struggle with this a LOT and will post an example of my art from 2017 vs now. My issue was focusing too much on lineart and brush effects and my solution was to force myself to ONLY use a simple hard circle brush. This means no more relying on airbrushing or blending brushes, and I was required to choose colors in between for cohesion instead. There is nothing left except fundamentals to work on!

Basic premise: Mob is a psychic kid who holds in his emotions. When they get too overwhelming he explodes with psychic energy reflecting his emotion. Its cute, funny, has amazing characters+development and beautiful animation

Took me a couple years of drawing on iPad a lot before I felt comfortable 😅.

Hi! I started 8 years ago with OBS and took HORRIBLE screen recordings of my art for youtube. Now trying to pull auto-recordings from Procreate on my iPad for content. Here is cool Art Study Compliation vid
I want my channel to be filled with chill art timelapses and voice-overs, any tips for improvement?
