I just got a nice intuos3 tablet for my birthday, but I dont have anything to draw?

 

 

 

Any ideas?

 

(BTW im just starting so give me some semi-basic things to learn off of!)

 

 

 

Thanks guys

Try fictional characters.

 

Look in a magazine or online for creatures or landscapes which has some shading, it's really good practice.

So things like superman and that?

 

 

 

Anyone want to put in a request for a drawing I love doing stuff like that \

I got a request to get you warmed up.

Do whatever you want, make it abstract unusual. Its yours to experiment!

This isn't the Art Bazzar, Shiny :lol: I thought you had your own Tablet, anyway?

He did ask if anyone wanted to request anything :)

 

 

 

I want a tablet, it'd make pretty much everything easier/

Anything. Since you've just got it it will take some time before you get used to it.

 

Draw simple stuff until you get the hang of it.

Ha! There goes me not reading all the posts! :lol:

 

I'm keen on a Tablet too. If I don't pick one up in Melbourne when I go in Six Days time, then I'll get one here.

If you want to buy two, be my guest :lol: . I really want a tablet as well, because I don't have the supplies for traditional media, so it is much easier to get something which comes with everything.

Keep dreaming Shiny :lol:

Alright shiny ill give that a try... but I havent digi-painted before so, itll be an 'attempt' :thumbup:

 

 

 

I just read some tuts and hope to get it right :lol:

Yeah. ive decided that I cant digipaint yet :P or at least not anything that complicated....

 

 

 

Sorry shiny :(

I'd do the same as you. Doing that would have been a huge task, and would have taken a skilled Digipainter that had been doing it for a few years.

The worst part is that I still have nothing to draw lol.

 

 

 

Anyone know of any good forums with drawing tutorials etc?

Hmmm...Try something like this maybe? These are what someone has done on another forum I use:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is probably heaps you could do, maybe try smudging something? You are the judge on what to do.

Simple, everyday objects. Like an apple, pieces of paper, etc.

peoples or pingus.

pingus.

 

 

 

How could I forget? :wall:

That's a very bad image to start with.

 

 

 

I suggest drawing fruit like an apple or something, it's simple and good practice for both shapes and shading.

Bah... don't use it for smudging. Waste of money.

 

 

 

Draw whatever you would like to. People, cars, animals, everyday objects, landscapes, fantasy, cartoons. It's like a pencil and paper -- you can use it to draw whatever you want (but, obviously, with much more flexibility).

 

 

 

If you really want to progress, join in on a daily sketch group.

So ive changed off of drawing straight from photoshop and started drawing by hand, and dong everything else in ps.

 

 

 

C/C This 5min thing ^^

 

 

 

[hide=Lolz][/hide]

I'm going to put this the politest way I can...

 

That's crap...

 

What happened, you looked so promising with your other one?

The other one was a tracing, this was drawn by hand.

 

Im trying to get better at drawing people, so first step is anatomy. (Well mostly because I have a lot of the rest.)

 

 

 

All im looking for in this piece is what looks wrong with the body.

 

 

 

Arms too long? Legs too short? Too thick? Too thin?

 

 

 

That kind of stuff.

Hold on, I'll go find Nadril's anatomy picture for you.

 

 

 

Here.

 

Whatever you feel is within your ability - start with simple things like fruit, crockery & stuff like that - if you need a bit of inspiration, look around on deviantart.
