Oh yeah. I'd encourage any and everyone to sketch with pen. It definitely has a different feel and look to it and will teach you to plan out your lines better.

>Rarity sitting in a huge armchair, holding her cat "No mister Anon, I expect you to try on."
>Anon being surrounded by fabulous dresses on dress forms yelling "NooooooooooO!!!!!!"

So I practiced with traditional for a while before obtaining a drawing tablet, after which I drew digitally for about a month. I decided to practice with traditional again and noticed it felt more comfortable for me. Been practicing with that for roughly another month.

Now I don't know how to quite ease my way back into digital. It almost feels like starting over again. What should I do?

>>25880388
Peronally, I think you should use whatever method you prefer. For example, you could sketch and ink traditionally, then scan it in and color digitally.

I prefer digitally all the way, but working in traditional media require more concious and strategic thinking (especially when you don't have any means of undoing what you put on the paper), and in the future I will try and make sure to draw at least one drawing traditionally every day.

>>25880521
>Peronally, I think you should use whatever method you prefer
That's the thing. I prefer digital, it's just that traditional feels more comfortable. If I'm making any sense. Drawing traditionally has helped me a lot with my basics, it seems, but there's almost nothing to show for it when I try returning to digital.

I don't know. Maybe I just like how neat everything looks when I draw on paper compared to drawing on a tablet while looking at a screen. But the difference is so huge that it has me stumped. I also don't have a scanner.

If you started traditional then doing so will always be more comfortable. The work you put into getting better with digital is going to transfer to traditional nicely since you're using those same kinetic movements.

I personally can't speak for anyone who started digital. It took me a good 4 months or so before my hand-eye-coordination began improving in digital. My works were god-awful when I first got my tablet. This was about 8 months ago and I'm still way better and faster with pen/paper. This is mostly why I work with pen/paper when coming up with ideas since I can sketch faster.

Think of it as a "total mileage." No matter what medium you're using, you're still adding to that total time spent drawing.

>Now I don't know how to quite ease my way back into digital. It almost feels like starting over again. What should I do?

Just jump back in and start drawing.

To give a small example: that circle exercise I boast about every now and then, I have a really hard time performing it digitally because I still struggle with making the lines I want in digital. My circles and ellipses don't come out the way I want them to the majority of the time so I have to use the transform tool a lot.

>>25880710

>I prefer digital

Why is that? I'm mostly digital because of the convenience an infinite canvas brings along with the many shortcuts that art programs have.

>there's almost nothing to show for it when I try returning to digital.

The basics and some of your hand-eye coordination is going to transfer to digital even if you don't realize it. Practicing digital is going to improve your traditional works as well since you're still adding to that "total mileage."

Pic related is the very first couple of sketches I did when I first got an Intuos Small back in March of this year.

I think results can vary immensly depending on medium. If you're used to the sensation of graphite on paper, you will find that a plastic tip on a plastic tablet feels quite alien. Though even if you're not used to one of the medium, any experience gained from either will in the end improve your results on both.

When it comes to tabletop tablet it is going to take a lot of getting used to regarding eye and hand coordination (that part was only really difficult the first time for me, though). But that's all there is to it: using it until you're used to the medium.

You're always going to have to consider and balance out different appeals to each medium; comfortability, looks, convenience, costs, what you can learn from them, etc.

IMPORTANT FOR TABLET USERS:
Most "good" tabletop tablets with proper drivers will try and stretch it's input area to fit your monitor dimensions. This is kinda bad, as it could mess with your muscle memory if your tablet drawing area has very different dimensions than your monitor.
My only experience is with Wacom tablets, and in their tablet settings they have a checkbox that says "Force proportions". Make sure this is checked (it's unchecked by default). Otherwise your hand is going to learn to draw ovals when you want to draw circles on the monitor.

>>25881179
>they have a checkbox that says "Force proportions"

I had forgot about that shit. It's especially annoying if you happen to have two monitors. Wacom drivers are pretty stellar from my limited experience.

I believe windows 8 and up has this dumb shit called "flicks" that can also affect the quality of your strokes.

I think the newer intuos come with a matte finish but don't quote me on that. I actually put stick-on shelving plastic on my intuos small since the surface was beginning to develop small scratches that were really annoying. It now has more of a "pencil and paper" feel to it than the original surface had.

You need an undersketch not only as a guide but for a plethora of reasons. It will help you with proportions and keeping everything lined up correctly. Right now you're in a stage where you can't see your own mistakes so having an undersketch is especially important.

Learn to bisect basic spheres and tilt them facing different directions.

There's a reason why many game artists have a bunch of figurines on their desktop, besides just displaying what games they like. Broswing different stores can be a good idea. Also, this one I got was about $10, but it was the best I could find and I wasn't gonna spare any expenses on it.

Pic related. Sorry for the crudity of it. I'm dead tired. This is a 2-point perspective. I actually started with a sphere and boxed it up since I can already visualize these planes. I should work with boxes more since it's easier to size up proportions some times.

>>25889998
I think it looks pretty solid. The few things I could point out are more or less stylistic choices rather than errors.

There are more groupings of feathers you might wanna consider, as it will help when drawing semi-folded wings. You have probably already done it, but comparing wing bone structure to the human arm is also an idea.
Simply googling "wing anatomy should do it.

The proportional length of the bones in the front legs is different from e.g. the show style. Something to consider, but my no means does yours look wrong/bad.

Also, I know these are sketches so I won't hold you guilty for imperfect lines, but I think you should work on your line confidence so that you don't have to draw over the same line multiple times.

>>25890146
Yeah, thank you for your critique. mainly i've been messing around trying to strike a balance between cartoony and semi-realistic.

Looks good. Also try to think of the "bean" as a wrapping form. The scapula and pelvic girdle "wrap" around the bean body and changes depending on perspective. This is how you can easily determine where the furthest limb is protruding from. This is where learning to draw ellipses in different perspectives can come into play.

You include what you think you need to include to help you out. What works for me won't necessarily work for you.

I only mentioned it because I like for people to be aware of the many solutions to a problem. Sometimes I can solve an issue with ellipses and some times I need to "box-up" the character to figure something out. They're just different tools being applied for the same results at the end of the day. Get good at using one tool but learn about the others so you won't get stuck.

Oh I see. The thing is that android tablets dont have pressure sensitivity. I know some PC laptops are coming out with tablets that have pressure sensitivity. The tech is becoming more common. I predict products like the cintiq are going to become cheaper in the next 5 years cuz they'll actually have companies like MS competing with them. They'd have to have some clever marketing to keep their screened tablets at that $1000 price range.

They've already "tainted" their Intuos line by splitting it into Intuos and Intuos Pro. The latter are what most people would think of when they see an Intuos tablet.

Wacom already have patented the technology that has the butt end of the pen act as an eraser so you wont find that feature anywhere else. Who knows what else they're trying to patent in order for them to keep the monopoly on quality displayed tablets.

If your monitor and tablet dimension match, say both are 16:9, there is no problem. If they differ, however, you're gonna experience some kind of wonky hand to eye coordination.

/r/ Can I get Rainbow Dash saluting in a helmet like pic-related?

I began using a 2nd monitor after I got a tablet and shit went crazy so I know what you mean. Luckily wacom makes good drivers so I could set it to use only my main monitor.

Protip:
Male eyebrows tend to be thicker, lower, and slanted inwards (angry-like).
Female ones are the opposite: thinner, higher and slanted outwards.

Your eyes are really giving the impression that they're tired and sunken in. I'm not sure if that's the idea you're going for.

Works for me, they do convey correct gender the way you drew them.
It's a rule of thumb for a very minor detail, though, so you can vary it greatly. I might actually be wrong on the whole slant thing.

use a screencap for reference. your proportions are way off and the eyes look like they're decaled onto a sphere. Mauds eyes actually tip out slightly (something my drawing doesn't do.. cos this was quick). where the ear meets the head is a defining point, the ear curves out.. look at the proportions and shape of everything. Exaggerate things you see and make it expressive. Here's my 3 minuets

Thank you, anon. I appreciate the help, I really do. It's just hard for me to understand this concept I guess. All on me and only I can force myself to get it ultimately.

I know I'm not very good and I'm not asking for asslicking. I appreciate the bluntness of this thread when I post something. When the critique comes in this thread it is great because there's a lot of people who know what they are doing.

hey its cool. I'm a scribbling amatuer too. See how my maud looks kinda masculine? the jaw is too big. Just doodle circles and comics and stuff. it's a process of identifying mistakes, then correcting. buy an A4 paper pad and some pencils, you'll do better than on tablet (IMHO) because it teaches muscle memory and technique. Working from a screencap is a good idea because you can compare and contrast each element. once you grasp the basics, it'll be a lot more fun becaus you can make things expressive and dynamic more easily, as opposed to replicating the proportions of flat shapes. to show I'm not full of shit here's a screencap piece I did last ngiht, It helped with understanding fluttershys eyes, pose and weight

Toriel from Undertale, made into a poni. Thanks.

>>25906151
I've been at this a decent amount of time and I can see some improvement from where I came, but the lack of progress is all on me and my brain's inability to see shit. Fucking hate it.

Pages of circles seem to be the only thing I can ever not consistently fuck up.

Requesting a version of the pic in the >>25906144 post with Anonymous and a diamond dog a thick one Thanks!

>>25906206
Try something else then, like music. You seem to be blaming yourself for a lack of progress, but this is not really sensible. Everyone has different aptitudes (herp derp show message) and toiling away at an idea you're enamored with, but don't really grasp, can get in the way of trying different things. I tried learning guitar this year and it taught me more than anything that I just grasp visual stuff more easily.

Meh, I guess I enjoy it a bit. I figured blaming yourself for your own lack of progress is how things are supposed to work. I've heard all sorts of syrupy explanations for aptitudes and also people saying it's just about rote skill.

I'm just hard on myself is all.

Stop worrying about results so damn much. Every sketch brings you closer and closer to what you're looking for. When I make a bad drawing I dont care. I move on and keeping pushing forward. Let go; stop caring. This isn't a race. If you're worried because you haven't improved then stop worrying. You wont see results in a weeks time. Whether you think so or not you're internalizing these concepts and ideas.

You're going to make bad drawings. Lots of them. This is important and part of the learning process. Get these bad drawings out your system. If it takes 99 bad drawings before you make one good one then so be it. Push through those 99 bad drawings. That 100th one will be worth the anguish.
