There's not just one brush. I block the basic colours with a default opaque brush and start blending with pic related

That said, I think you sould take the time to search various settings and experiment on what works for you.

Thanks a ton. This is pretty spot-on to what I was trying to figure out how to make.

>>3060355
1. Constant, deliberate training. Do it again and again. There are no shortcuts.

2. Turn the autoSmooth off. It jist irons out all personality off your lines. You may use it later, when you understand what EXACTLY it does, but please not as a beginner.

3. If your tablet is horizontal, hold the pen in the "chinese calligraphy brush" position, not like a writing pen.
You may want the tablet at an angle, get a book-stand or glue it to a screen-mount (google for Ergotron).

Good luck

Do I outline with one fast stroke or one slow stroke? I'm guessing the lines will be more consistent once I get used to the tablet.

>>3060355
Draw a line and either ctrl+z and draw it again because it looks bad, or draw the next line.

use something like that

>>3063215
actual iso or faux iso like in the pixel art you posted (and mangled by saving as jpg)? should be plenty of tutorials for the latter

>>3063229
actual isometric i thought with video games there would be a ton of books on this but i have found nothing good, im mostly looking for help on characters, though my landscapes could be improved too

step one delete all animu

Look in the mirror. Wait, never mind you said 'appealing' faces.

SICK burn bro, savagistic!

Then don't put words in your comics and make it pre-language fucking cavemen

dummy smfh

>>3059010
Well made comics with no dialog require even greater story telling skills. The story isn't the written words you see on the page but what happens within the panels.

>>3059014
Pick a weird mental/physical disorder than make a comic about it.

Dali was not an extraordinary painter in the classical realist sense, although he became quite skillful towards the 50's and I consider the painting you posted to be a masterpiece. 20 years prior he was nonetheless bold with a brush, had a great sense of color and most importantly his subject matter more than made up for whatever he lacked in technical proficiency. The persistence of memory is one of the most easily recognized pieces of all time, that's gotta count for something.

Arts students may be very technically capable but still lack vision. One look at Artstation today proves that in excess.

>>3063835
uhh just map your experience with music to visual arts, like fuck.

>Arts students may be very technically capable but still lack vision
I'm very aware of it, it was just curiosity.

>>3063879
Not that easy when you don't know what a brush can actually do, and what degree of control painters have over their strokes.
Do you really think that you can analyze counterpoint properly after having studied some colour theory? As far as you know Bach is as good at counterpoint as everyone else, the motives of his excellence are hidden from whoever won't study his scores extensively. O feel the same way when I look at paintings.

code for commission you dolt, you speak english enough for it

>>3063625
How uneducated are you to think drawing is the only thing you can learn without going to school
You have the whole fucking internet at your hands.

Yeah, I've figured as much that you may like that picture.

How much life drawing do you do?

If the answer's "none", then go do some.
