What tablet do you use? I would love to branch into digital art.
Currently I'm using Wacom Intuos 5 M, but if you are beginner, I suggest use Wacom Bamboo. It's quite cheaper and totally enough for digital drawing.
Cintiq is overkill I think. It's just a tool after all, but very expensive one. Most of awesome art you see around the net is done mostly with Intuos. Even if you have that much money to burn, I suggest not to waste them on Cintiq, it is clearly mean only for professionals.
Best course of action I suppose it's start with Bamboo, then switch to Intuos, and if needed and when you are already making money from your art, only then buy Cintiq.
It's just practice. If you go to the last page of my gallery, you'll see some very awful drawings.
I did study some Academic art at academy of art (well, that's poorly constructed sentence), I learn most basics via traditional mediums, and only later switched to mostly digital, but doing traditional sketches now and then. Traditional art school is essentialy a good thing, so if you have a chance I'd go there.
But if you interested in Digital stuff only - then I really advice you to visit this website [link] and watch all videos. There is a lot of good and basic stuff, which will help you to learn how to draw basic shapes and such.
Thanks for watching my speedpaint, there is nothing hard, really, especially when doing fanart, cause you don't need to think about design and such. And you are welcome! I hope I managed to help.
Then I'm sure that Intuos is a good choice and with quite good traditional skill, you'll do just fine digitally. Especially if you will dig Ctrl-Paint website.
Wacom tablets just a tool after all, skill is all that matters. It's not that different, same basics, just way more tricks and stuff to speedup process.
Thanks for kind words, I'll try to keep up with your expectations.
What do you use after you sketch?
Didn't get the question quite right? How do I use them, do you mean? Or what additional tool I'm using after sketching?
I don't use them for anything, it's just a practice. And I don't using anything else, it's all done on 1 layer and with 1 brush.
