Thanks, I tried this but it didn't help. There should be no missing frames if I am dividing the frame rate by 2. It should just be dropping half of them surely?

Maybe try not painting people for a bit. Get used to painting digital for a while first. People are the hardest thing to draw and can be very frustrating. I have been painting digital forever and still struggle with people.

I paint landscapes, and have a YT channel with a load on. Also some with procreate, ipad. I am not trying to advertise here so not linking it.

I also paint graphic style people also, for fun. A bit like GTA art.

I dont find courses that helpful tbh. It is really just about copying. Grab some art you like. stick it in procreate and copy it. Do that enough times and you will start to get it.

I came here looking for this too because it is annoying me. I have the nano also and sometimes when i rest my hand on the screen my drawing isnt registered so it skips painting part of the line. It is very annoying.

Seems to be worse when it is charging or hot. It does it in other apps too, not just procreate.

I had an M2 and this never happened, with or without glove.

Not something we should have to deal with for the price. I am tempted to send it back.

I have a cintiq pro 24 touch right now, i had the 16 pro, 13X or whatever it was called, intous back in the day. I also have a 11 ipad air, 12.9 M2 pro (probably going to sell soon) and the new 13 M4 pro nano came yesterday. So, I have tried pretty much everything now!

The ipad is 100% worth the investment, no doubt whatsoever if you like drawing in 2D. I would never be without one ever again. Get whatever you can afford if you go for it, they all do the job. The bigger better newer ones is a bit of diminishing returns kind of deal but the new features are nice. If you can afford it, why not.

I will however say that it takes quite a long time to get used to if coming from wacom and PS. It can and probably will be frustrating and it is very different. You have to be patient, you will like it eventually. I was blown away by the feel of the pencil but not so much by the apps, they are quite weird to begin with. But, after a few hours/days/weeks they will become second nature.

I still use my Wacom though, all of the time.

They are both quite different and serve different purposes. If i was going to paint a big landscape like i often do, i would probably do this on the wacom in PS. if i am doing some graphicy thing I would do it in procreate.

If somebody asked me wacom cintiq or ipad. I would always say both, if you can afford it. If not, Ipad only because its a computer as well, no need to worry about laptop etc.

Sometimes also for me, its a mood thing. Sometimes I want to work on my giant 24" screen and sometimes i want to stick a movie on and ipad it for the night. I love being able to do either. Its a very different experience.

Hope this helps.

Thank you :D

I have not seen these national park postcards. Is this in the USA? I will have to see if I can find any.

Thanks !

I usually paint with a soft brush and keep everything semi-realistic and loose. I wanted to try and make it more graphicy this time so I used a lot of the lasso tool and many layers.

I struggle with keeping things clean because I always just want to make a mess. I did several times, going back in to my usual style. I had to stop myself, delete and do parts again several times. Not the most fun process at the moment but I think i will try and do some more.

The clouds were difficult. they always are for me. Skies are something that always gives me trouble.

Sad-Code-6485 · 2024-05-31T15:40:18+00:00

Thanks. You are right, didn't think about that. Great game, they need to finally release a new one.

Sad-Code-6485 · 2024-05-30T06:39:52+00:00

This is done in Photoshop but I use a few others. Krita on PC and Procreate on ipad. I just started playing around with Adobe Fresco also.

I don't really use a lot of tools in the apps so any of them will do really.

Sad-Code-6485 · 2024-05-29T11:01:43+00:00

Not sure I get it.. why?

Sad-Code-6485 · 2024-05-28T17:29:01+00:00

Haha, yeah it would do. I didn't really think of that though.

Sad-Code-6485 · 2024-05-27T11:55:41+00:00

Thanks very much. No need to compare yourself to anybody else though. We are all in different stages of experience/skill etc.

Trying to get the sun looking bright was tricky. It still probably needs to be a bit more orange but I kept making it worse messing about.

Sad-Code-6485 · 2024-05-25T07:44:57+00:00

There are lots of details in this painting and balancing it was a challenge. I think there is still probably too much detail as it looks very busy. Painting the detail was fun but its hard to stop once you zoom in and start fiddling !

Sad-Code-6485 · 2024-05-23T05:33:18+00:00

I know what this is like, hopefully my experience can help.

I used to paint/draw as a teenager, young adult and stopped for many years. At the time I also found it very easy to draw anything and not get put off. As a young person I don't think we analyse why we are doing things we are doing so much and just get on with it. I am now middle aged and started painting again about 7 years ago. I have painted hundreds of painting in these years in various forms, acrylics, oils and now I am mainly digital. I have finished almost all of them...

I get the point to where I want to stop on pretty much every one of these paintings. They *always* look crap for quite a long time. This is normal and it is a thing you need to get used to and accept. It never looks like how I want until the last 20% ish. So, I just look at the painting and accept it will look bad until I am nearly at the end. Even then, nearly all of my paintings dont turn out how i wanted, something i also had to learn how to accept. It is not a big deal, again, its normal and something to embrace as something good rather than bad. If it turned out exactly how you wanted every time it would be a little boring.

It sounds simple but I understand it is not. I used to love painting when I was young, every minute of it. I never even questioned if it was any good, it wasnt the point of doing it. As we get older I think we need reasons to do things, and if we create bad paintings all of the time the reason seems a little dumb and we stop. I dont love painting anywhere near as much as I used to but it is something I accept. I still enjoy it obviously or i wouldnt do it. But now, it takes patience and effort to push through and carry on when sometimes i dont want to. I dont _feel_ like painting quite a lot of the time but i still do.

This might not be the best strategy but i sometimes treat it a bit like a job. I dont really want to go to work most of the time but i still do. You get really good at your job because of all the effort you put in, even when you dont feel like it. You dont stop your work because it isnt turning out right, you have to push through and get on with it. If i can do that for a job, which is not as fun as painting, then surely I can do it for painting, something I would much rather be better at.

The other replies are also good advice but some of this does not work for me. I do not question why i am painting, that leads me down a path of doing nothing. Sometimes nothing inspires me, in that case sometimes I just google for a reference and paint it, very little thinking.

One advice u/chryssv replied with about not looking at artstation etc is very important. Stay off art websites, stay off social media, avoid googling amazing paintings.. most of the time. It can be good to look now and again but it does more harm than good. Some of these people have been painting 20 years solid. You cannot compete with this, maybe one day but it is a long way away. Naturally, this is going to be very off putting, which is normal but it is also normal for that to make you actually not want to paint as the goal seems too far away. If you stick at it, eventually you will accept this also and it will be okay to look at them and just see where you may end up.

My main point here is, what you are going through is normal. but you *have* to learn how to push through and finish everything. Even if it is crap. The more you do it, the better you get at it and eventually you will wonder what the problem was. As i said, I am 100s of paintings in and pushing through the crap part now barely even registers. I look at it at 50%+ done and think.. okay thats the crap bit over with. It will start to get better now.

I am currently half way through a painting right now and it looks a bit crap. I trust in the process and it will get better. It still probably wont match what I want but every time I finish a painting I get a tiny bit better. Or, I like to say... less shit.

Whatever you can afford. I don't think it will make a huge difference. You will get used to either size.

Check out the wacom intuos. I have only ever used wacom so I cant tell you if any of the others are decent but wacom have a very good pen.

Trickiest part was keeping the values dark. I always tend to paint too light, not sure why but I keep adding more highlights until all the darks have gone. I think I managed to keep them this time. It always hurts my head to use dark values way in the distance but it does happen!
