This is my first piece I have done using my tablet, that I've actually tried on. I really tried hard, at least an hour on this piece, but it still sucks! #-o The bad thing is..I can't figure out how to make the grass look like grass and the sky look like, well...sky.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C/C please! :wall:

Getting there, just keep at it and you'll master it. :)

 

 

 

I like my tablet. :D

try shorter strokes for the grass with some bushes, just like the one you have in front. for the sky...hmmm try more "solid" strokes...meaning less lines visible...make it blend...

So basically you have no drawing experience and you thought tablets magically make you amazing artists? This is not spam or anything im actually really seriously wondering if thats the case , if not...

No, you have it all wrong. I haven't had any drawing experience with my tablet. I've drawn before, tons, but not with a tablet. Does it just suck that much or did you misread what I said? :-w

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks Bessafree, though, I'll keep that in mind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By the way, I'm using Gimp 2.2, if anyone was wondering.

the trick to digipainting is highlights. first, i recomend you use the brush tool. second, what you need to do is use a smaller brush (1-6 pixels is about right). shade everything in the way you would with a pixel (no ddither and everything, just shading), and then apply highlights and texturing. i have an old dragon from when i first digipainted (yes, suckie) that you can kinda see what i mean. ill edit this if i can find this.

I did use a brush. A small brush, too. :shame:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By the way, showing me a sucky drawing won't help me improve on a sucky drawing. Showing a good drawing, with good detail and somewhat close to what I drew would help.

im prety sure thats not a brush... looks more like airbrush to me...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i found the dragon, but looking back at it, and comparing my new digipaintings, it looks terrible >.< i redid the sacles neer the horn quickly so you could see what i ment about highlights.

click at the risk of getting the wrong impression of me as a digipainter >.<

Does it have to be like a signature format? ^^;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can do that with a mouse!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Try wallpaper size!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tablets are made for big resolutions! :D

 

 

 

Not a brush?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And, to answer jak's question, it's being made for a friend on the forums here..So, yeah, it kinda does need to be in signature format. :|
