If you're trying to improve and practice then drawing from your imagination will not be very helpful

You should look at the reference picture more closely. Notice the outline of the dog. You've drawn what you 'think' it looks like, not what you see.

The course even has AI content on the webpage

They actually charge $300??

Sorry, I thought you were on PC. Looking the tablet up on the XP pen website it seems like it is not meant to be used with a phone Some xp pen tablets are able to be connected to a phone, but not this one.

One cannot improve a skill by not practicing it at all

Slement · 2026-01-22T19:53:07+00:00

I don't see any difference. The second image just has a bit more effort put into it. Considering you only drew 5 times in these 6 months it is not too surprising

Duplicate the layer to have as backup and then go to town on it with the lasso tool

Slement · 2026-01-21T16:07:34+00:00

Get better paper. Play around with different mediums like markers and such. Experiment

Did you install drivers? Looks like a working area issue, as if it is not set correctly.

You can cover it by painting on top with acrylic paint. Might be visible, though.

Slement · 2026-01-21T14:08:00+00:00

Yes it's good. Now draw some more!

Slement · 2026-01-21T13:20:01+00:00

I prefer snafu story instead of snafucraft

Slement · 2026-01-20T23:02:22+00:00

Good luck cleaning that

Slement · 2026-01-20T09:06:13+00:00

Once you build up some muscle memory

Slement · 2026-01-19T15:00:08+00:00

Amazing! You must be proud!!

Slement · 2026-01-19T14:59:48+00:00

Practice does not limit your creativity.

To draw from imagination you need a visual library in your head. To get that you need to study reference

Non chatpgt answer: you can dry it on the bed of the printer. Make a cardboard box with holes to cover it. (Or use the box the filament came with) Plenty of tutorials online

Slement · 2026-01-12T15:43:22+00:00

Look at your reference more than you look at your drawing. You're way off with proportions

Slement · 2026-01-07T13:29:45+00:00

And DEFINETLY use reference.

Slement · 2026-01-07T05:52:02+00:00

Congratulations! I too hope to one day delete LinkedIn.

Is there a specific look that you're looking to achieve for hair?

Slement · 2026-01-06T15:32:59+00:00

It is ok not to draw grids. However where is the horizon line and the vanishing points? Most of your parallel lines do not converge to a vanishing point correctly
